This Is How It Is And This Is Nothing New Poem by Francis Duggan

This is how it is and this is nothing new
The majority of the wealth of the World is owned by the few
In a World of inequality for one to win big many have to lose
And losing is a thing that anyone does not choose
All people are equal the well intentioned do say
But sadly in reality it is not this way
Life in the Human World is structured on inequality
Much as i hate to say it this is reality
For one to become very wealthy many seem to lose out
This is what life in the twenty first century seems to be about
The great paper god most people do pursue
That money speaks every language as ever is true
What is somebody's loss is another one's gain
This is how it is and how it will always remain.
