This Is How It Is Poem by Francis Duggan

We all have our life's journeys to undertake
For many a hard and sad journey to make
Since life choices to everyone does not apply
Circumstance to many of a fair go deny

Life's choices not for those from the poor side of the town
From where they live a near impossible journey to success and renown
They cannot even afford a second hand car for to drive
Success in life for them is just to survive

In a Human World where money is the most important thing
Of the praises of wealthy celebrities you hear many sing
Where for every millionaire many in poverty
And on the streets of the homeless there is inequality

Not everyone destined for success and fame
And the journey through life for no two seems the same
This is how it is and it always will be
At least anyway that's how it seems to me.
