-Fortunate Ones

We have:

Shelter to keep us safe
Protect us from the elements
And some of the human race!

Clean running water with just a turn
Food at our fingertips
Education for all to learn

Many forms of transport 
Shoes on our feet, clothes on our back
People to help us if under attack

Doctors,hospitals, medicines when we need
All the comforts and pleasures of life
Freedom guaranteed

Others are not so lucky 
They struggle to survive
Just to have the basics
To keep them alive

Such unfairness and hardship
To sustain and just be
Life so unjust
How lucky are we …..
