Where Poverty Is

The gap between the wealthy and the poor is increasing by the day
Inequality is rife despite what some may say
In climate and drought and in war refugees
Poverty does come in varying degrees
The homeless and hungry and the financially down
Live in the poor suburbs of every big town
Divided by culture and religion and values in life
Where poverty is discontent is rife
Some of the poor of the poor suburbs do turn to crime
And find themselves behind bars serving prison time
For as long as the gap between the wealthy and the poor does increase
Between people there will never be harmony and peace
The majority of the wealth of the World owned by a minority
And millions of people in dire poverty.
