To Live Poor And Homeless

To live poor and homeless is not what one would choose
But in life 'tis hard for to win and 'tis easy to lose
Many for a successful life never have a fair chance
Due mainly to what is known as birth circumstance
He or she one of the children of the lesser gods
As a homeless teenager is battling the odds
Born to dysfunctional parents mentally feeling down
Without work and penniless on the poor side of the town
In a world where millions of people live in dire poverty
That one can choose what they wish to be does not seem right to me
In the refugee camps millions of refugees
The victims of wars and famines with immune systems weakened from disease
You can be what you wish to be to me does not sound right
For millions of people life is an uphill fight.
