Have and the Have Nots

grabbing at straws the luck of the draw some live big some live raw a few like gods on hills of gold every things fine just do what were told A man on the corner needs something to eat money walks by thinks dirty deadbeat separated so the poor don't offend at least when your down no need to pretend late at night at the castle on the hill a drunken success pops another pill doesn't talk to his kids doesn't have real friends his wife loves spending and the hottest new trends a mother and her children prepare for the meal what little there is seems so surreal Everyday she struggles to provide all she has is love and great strength inside the driver takes him to the company he owns he makes money by working others to there bones always watching for a worker whose down to remind them hes got the best jobs in town eight sharp she takes the bus into work she works for sol ittle just to please some rich jerk the boss points out maybe its time for some new clothes hes pays so little cares nothing for what she owes the girls need braces but theres no way to pay she smiles real big and says well get em someday but shes knows she probably wont ever afford she can barely make rent on her own accord when he enters his mansion he feels quite alone a beautiful house but know sign of a home he decides it be better if workers lost there medical coverage the company will save and even the overage two people so very different one thinks hes what most people want to aspire to the other wonders how long she can hold two sick days she'd be out on the street the first one is selfish drinks every night avoids his family and lies a lot to the second is down but will never give up and her children love her she is so sweet these two people we see everyday I'm willing to bet you may look away she just doesn't know how to save irresponsible i hear people say when you see the man in his top notch suit and perfect smile i hear people say what an outstanding man i like to talk for a while When i see the man in his thespian role i feel a ting of pity in the heart in the soul all the money doesn't help him see the person he his the one he could be when i see the women struggle all day i wonder why we aren't all this way her strength and courage virtues indeed a path of love is always richer then one of greed
