There Are So Many Poem by Francis Duggan

There are so many people far worse off than i
As it will not be of thirst or of hunger i will die
Poverty exists in varying degrees
In the refugee camps of the World millions of refugees
The millions of homeless hungry who live and sleep rough
Compared to them i would not know what is tough
Of a fair go in life i have never been denied
The good lady of luck is always on my side
I have never been homeless or known of hunger pain
And i am not one who has cause to complain
The gift of life only comes to one by chance
And many are unlucky by birth circumstance
I feel luckier than most of that why should i lie
It will not be of hunger or thirst i will die.
