THE MANY LIES WE WERE TOLD AS CHILDREN 
*************************************************





Man was born to die continually
And start afresh.
As kids we were told that 
'God help those who help themselves'
Well this is said with fingers pointed
at  self - made men or women
Who have attained wealth and position,
Forgetting the millions, thousands 
Of others laboring and starving, day in, day out, 
Without ever improving their material lot.
