God For Us All Poem by Francis Duggan

An old saying from my younger years i do recall
Every man for himself and God for us all
A saying that so many does seem to live by
And that to so many people nowadays does apply
Of the kind and compassionate more we do need
It is true that poverty is one of the side affects of human greed
So many grow poorer for every new millionaire
In a World where many are homeless and so few seem to care
Your friends are not many when you are financially down
So few wish to know of the paupers of the town
Money speaks every language as some are known to say
And sad for to say it but it does seem this way
A saying from my younger years i do recall
Every man for himself and God for us all.
