This Is How It Is

That money is important why otherwise pretend
The wealthy and the famous never short of a friend
The homeless of the poor streets so few of wish to know
They multiply in numbers and poorer they do grow
The majority of the Worldwide wealth in the coffers of the few
This is just a mere fact of life and not anything new
Though being poor, hungry and homeless anyone does not choose
For one to win in a big way others do have to lose
This is how it is and it always was and it always will be
For every newly proclaimed millionaire others nearer to poverty
People with each other compete for success every day
This is how it is and it always was and it always will be this way
To meet one in life doing it quite tough you may not need to walk far
And it is only the poor who come to know who their true friends really are.
