The Greedy Few Poem by Francis Duggan

The mineral wealth of the Country claimed by the greedy few
You may say to this tell us what is new
It is said about greed that much does crave more
Another thing you would have heard of before
Though their fair share of taxes they never does pay
To grumble of taxes is the wealthy way
The more they seem to have the more they seem to need
It can be obsessive this thing known as greed
The gap between the haves and the have nots how wide it has grown
Seventy per cent of the wealth of the Country the few seem to own
When many far too many live in poverty
This does seem all wrong would you not agree?
The majority of the Country's wealth is owned by the few
To this you may well say we already knew.
