You Will Know Why Your Friends Are Poem by Francis Duggan

You will know who your friends are when you are financially down
One of the homeless on the poor side of the town
In a disused factory doorway sheltering from the wind and rain
And sad to think that one has to lose for another for to gain
And though many with this may choose to disagree
In the Human World this is how it seems to be
The gap between the wealthy and the poor keeps widening by the day
In a fair Human World it would not be this way
There are many who to their thoughts like to give voice
Who say that everybody have the power of choice
The people arrogant enough to believe they know the workings of the human mind
In the World it does seem there are millions of their kind
But you will know who your friends are when you are financially down
One of the homeless of the poor side of the town.
