But you does hang in there when the going is tough
Like all born of poor parents of the lesser gods
From babyhood you have been battling the odds
You are one who does not have a god on your side
But there are many like you homeless and often hungry and unemployed
And you never once mention the word of suicide
Though any opportunity in life of you has been denied
Condemned to fail by your birth circumstance
Of success in life robbed of any chance
Your parents at present serving prison time
To steal for to live has been their only crime
In a Human World where hunger and poverty and homelessness are no longer rare
Some of the wealth have far more than their fair share
Homeless and often hungry and sleeping rough
You keep surviving though life on you is tough
