In A Human World Where The Hungry Poem by Francis Duggan

In a Human World where the hungry and homeless are not rare
Where there are so many paupers for every millionaire
For millions of homeless people sleeping rough tonight
Life for them birth to death is an uphill fight
Millions living in poverty due to birth circumstance
For to succeed in life they have not had a chance
I am lucky i have a roof over my head
And that i do sleep in a comfortable bed
And hunger as always a stranger to me
In life i have been lucky as lucky as can be
The paupers are many and the millionaires few
On saying this i am not saying anything that is new
In a Human World where every day people of malnutrition do die
To every millionaire many poor and homeless and this is not a lie.
