In The Human World

In the Human World where some of money have more than enough
A few billion people are doing it tough
On a below poverty line income surviving from day to day
From birth to death destined for to live in this way

And why one person's loss can be another person's gain
Is something way beyond me to explain
Perhaps the human existence is meant to be this way
For winners there have to be losers this does seem sad to say

Thousands of asylum seekers in un-seaworthy boats in the deep oceans have died
Their dreams of better lives so tragically destroyed
In a fair Human World this never would be
You would not have the hungry the homeless or the refugee

In the Human World the wealthy and famous seem to have everything
And of the praises of the poor there seem too few to sing
And it is a rare occurence  that one from a poor side of a town
Has known of the esteem that does come with wealth and renown.
