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 …..
