Though This To Anyone Poem by Francis Duggan

Though this to anyone is not anything that is new
The majority of the wealth of the World is owned by the few
The multi rich are rare and millions in poverty
In a fair Human World this would never be

Why somebody's loss can become another's gain
Is something that is beyond me to explain
The gap between the haves and the have not keeps growing ever wide
Far too many people without luck on their side

The poor hungry children of the lesser gods
Are born into life for to battle the odds
A wealthy person is one you will not meet
On the grimy side walks of Poverty Street

It is true that the gift of life comes by chance
But life is like a game of circumstance
Those born to poor parents as poor people usually die
This is a fact of life and fact does never lie.
