Poverty Is Relative Poem by Francis Duggan

Some people in life they do it so tough
And often are hungry and live and sleep rough
The hard done by life of the social divide
The goddess of luck she is not on their side
Millions of people are stateless and homeless in the World today
Without an income, unemployed and doing it in the hard way
For millions of people living in extreme poverty
How hard and sad living life for them has to be
They know what it is like to live without shelter and be hungry and cold
And few of them will live on for to grow old
Compared to them so very lucky am i
Of hunger and cold i will surely not die
I do not own my own home many far wealthier than me
But poverty is relative would you not agree.
