Not Anything New Poem by Francis Duggan

That the majority of the wealth of the World is owned by the few
Is merely stating a fact and not anything new
Even in so called prosperous Nations the poor growing poorer by the day Worldwide
And the gap ever increasing in the social divide
Though we all do have choices some are known to say
With millions of people it is not this way
Born to parents who live in extreme poverty
Of a poor and hungry existence is almost a guarantee
The people against the odds born to strive
Few of them to their fifties can hope to survive
It is true that we all do breathe in the same air
For millions of poor people life is so unfair
And that the most of the material wealth of the World is owned by the few
Is merely stating a fact and not anything new.
