The Battles Of Survival Poem by Francis Duggan

In poor suburbs and refugee camps from here far away
The battles of survival go on every day
Where poverty and hunger gives rise to worry and stress
And just to survive is seen as success
In the places where the poorest of people do live
Those who for survival depend on what others to them do give
The people born into the wrong circumstance
For a happy and prosperous life they they've never had that chance
Since bad circumstance of a successful life many does deny
Life choices to everyone does not apply
Life choices not for everyone would you not agree
Not for a homeless person or a refugee
The gap between the haves and the have nots growing wider by the day
And that does seem a sad thing for to have to say.
