In Hands of Rich Are Poor Pawn

In Hands of Rich Are A Poor Pawn

From beginning at night until dawn,
We all have become a poor pawn;
Can you imagine someone hocking,
What was in their Christmas stocking.

For auction will put up wedding rings;
Many tears to their eyes this brings;
Allowance to children no longer give;
Such a sad way they do have to live.

Congress and President play their part;
Our military at home have broken heart;
And all that they still will have left to say;
To God every night and each day do pray.

God had motivated me to prepare this;
Not a word of it will want you to miss;
In many ways you may become scared;
There are those who have never cared.

Now forward this to all those who
can and will do something about 
this terrible plight in our lives.
