In The Twenty First Century

 In the twenty first century self promotion is an in thing

And many their own praises seem happy to sing

And in a World where so many people for attention compete

The down to earth people getting harder to meet

In an age when the narcissistic sort are no longer rare

So many of their own needs are only aware

And the gap between the have and the have not is widening by the day

Which does seem a very sad thing for to say

And it is not saying anything that is new

That the majority of the wealth of the World is owned by the few

And even in so called wealthy Nations many are doing it tough

And are homeless and hungry and at night sleeping rough

And when many must lose for a few for to win

It is not a nice World for the majority to live in.
