Life !!!
Life is such a load of guile,
With it’s tongue in cheek, fictitious smile.
You’ll be called for each and every event,
If your lifestyle appears extravagant.
Off course the rest are left to scrounge,
If not discarded and left to lament.
In the rich mans eyes, They appear as flies,.
A heap of excrement.
Theres no place for all those less and poor,
They’ll all be left outside the door.
The good Lord strongest, so humble, yet tall,
Said, “To be the greatest, you should be the servant of all”.
But life never was ever geared this way;
More like a typical Shakespearean play.
Even to acquire the smallest life brings,
“Money’s become the God of all things”.
How can we change this trend of thought?
Bring the worlds rich to a jolly good naught?
I’m sure these things aren’t in our hand,
They come to an end once under the sand.
So until then life will continue to be,
The prerogative of those much richer than we.
