Who Your True Friends Are Poem by Francis Duggan

When survival for you has become an uphill fight
And nothing in your life for you is going right
One of those doing it tough on the poor side of the town
You come to know who your friends are when you are feeling down
Those you thought were your frirends from you have turned away
But your true friend as your friend in your tough times does stay
When you had plenty money you were not short of friends in the local public bar
But only now you realize who your true friends are
Wealthy people though their admirers in numbers do grow
Who their true friends are they will never know
That money speaks every language only true for to say
And never more so than in the Human World of today
And now that you are down you have come to realize
Who your true friends are this is not a surprise.
