You Are Not Poor

You are not poor if you have enough to eat and drink every day
And a nice home to live in and a comfortable bed on which to lay
There are millions of people far worse off than you
And this only happens for to be true
Many people homeless in Winter weather temperatures below minus degrees
And in the refugee camps of the World millions of refugees
And of malnutrition poor people are dying every day
Poverty can be relative as the wise one does say
So many in the World of a fair go denied
The gap between the wealthy and the poor has never been so wide
Worldwide in every city and every town
There are millions of people who are financially down
And in comparison to many in life you are doing okay
You do not know how it feels to be hungry even for a day.
