Some People Only Live For Themselves

Some people only live for themselves until the day they do die
But there is more to living life than living for me, myself and i
Those who gain at the expense of others should not be for them any reason for joy
Something i learned from a wise one when i was a boy
In a Human World where many grow poorer for every new millionaire
The truly compassionate are sad to say rare
As is said of poverty it can be of varying degrees
And human greed that leads to war gives rise to refugees
In a World where some are materially very wealthy some are doing it tough
Millions are homeless, stateless and hungry and living and sleeping rough
It is not anyone's choice to live in dire poverty
To live as homeless or stateless or as a refugee
For a better World to live in the kind and compassionate help to plant the seed
There is more to living of life than living for one's own need.
