A Sad Thing For To say

For winners there has to be losers this goes without doubt
For billions of people sad to say this is what life is about
The poor people who live on the brink of despair
Despite what many may tell you life is not always fair
For life's many losers life's winners are few
You may say to this do tell us what is new
In a World of the homeless and the stateless and war and climate refugees
Poverty does come in varying degrees
Everyone has life choices by some we are told
But the majority of those born into poverty as paupers grow old
Where many are homeless and financially down
Few stories of success from the poor side of the town
In a World where the gap between the wealthy and poor grows wider by the day
And does this not seem quite a sad thing for to say.
