Poorman's Poem

I came to be in a land Where money is a demand. To the poor it is hard to come by; Yet the rich has an endless supply. The government says not to worry, But the future looked blurry. Our hopes are now lost Coz our future has a cost. What do a poor like me do? I wish what they say is true; That they are doing what they should And hope that they would do good. Everyday is but a struggle, Most of us live in the jungle, Where money and guns make man a god. They make those beneath do nothing but nod. Because we are nothing but poor We have no right to a life of grandeur. A life which the rich has enjoyed And left some politicians' honor destroyed. The gods that they all bow upon In the gates of heaven will all be gone. In there, true justice will be served And their punishment will be well deserved.

Thank you very much for reading and for taking the time to comment. :) "When you're left with nothing, faith is the only thing that you can hold on to. Faith will never leave you; rather, it is you that sometimes leave faith."
