We Read Of And Hear Of

We read of and hear of wars and famines in Lands far away
And the human population in numbers increasing by the day
Billions of people for our Earth Mother to feed
With millions in drought stricken areas of food aid in need
For every wealthy person many of a better life live in despair
The distribution of wealth as ever seems unfair
Even in so called wealthy Nations people in extreme poverty
In a fair Human World this would never be
From poverty street on the poorest side of the town
It is a long hike to wealth and renown
The children living there of success in life stand little chance
One can say they are handicapped by birth circumstance
Suppose this is how it is and it always will be
In a Human World that is based on inequality.
