It Is Always The Poor Poem by Francis Duggan

It Is Always The Poor

Rating: 4.5


That human life is taken so cheaply the thought rather chilling
Trillions in money spend on weapons for killing
That money and power does corrupt there can be no denying
In a World where millions of people of Malnutrition are dying
Weapons of mass destruction are being used every day
Where murder in war zones is seen as okay
Revenge killing in terrorism by those who believe they have god on their side
Violence is on the increase Worldwide
Pity the stateless, the homeless, the poor and downtrod
And those who do suffer because of war over god
Many looked on as heroes that the masses do laud
Are narcissistic people who are badly flawed
Life on the poor of the World getting tougher
And it is always the poor in war who do suffer.

I agree. The powerful nations use war for profit. This is sad. Powerful and needed words shared. Thank you.

True, the poorest and innocent suffer the most these days in the war over God, land and money.Do the most powerful nations need to spend such huge sums by taxing the common man to stock-pile their nuclear arsenals and for what purpose.Only God knows but Nature will punish these foolish leaders who never care about humanity in the real sense
