Poverty

By Mike Bullock

Look around your comfy house
Add up all your wealth
Does the total of your pile
Bring kudos to your health
Will it add another day
To what you are allowed
To think,you are a self made man
Must make you very proud.

All around,the people who
Were meant to share your gift
Are daily dying of disease
Cause you gave them short shrift
One day you’ll have to face the fact
That they have gained the crown
And you will live in poverty
Because you let them down.
