Millionaire Meanies

I wish that millionaires could see There's a lot of charities Hoping there could just be some Of their cash that's used for fun Donated to places that can Lend someone a helping hand Money used for foolish things And living life like wealthy kings Isn't fair when every day Another child fades away Because of hunger and frostbite While mansions stay warm in the night A teenage mom left all alone Being kicked out of her home Roaming the streets there is nowhere Someone can show her loving care Because shelters could not afford To pay rent==they shut their doors Teens are walking in the street With not enough food to eat Joining gangs and taking rides Rising their innocent lives Thinking it's the only way They'll make it through another day Because rich people everywhere Don't have a heart or really care When they hear about or see Another story on t.v About this true reality Heartless, cruel and not decent Doing nothing to prevent A world of pain and tragic sorrow Not caring about someones tomorrow

Robin, much meaning here in your poem.. sometimes I'm glad I am what I call enough... not rich.. nor heartless.... giving is always good... very deep, but I know a few rich nice humans... thanks for sharing.. Linda

With such power and with such money comes greed and envy! Such a great portrayal of the upper classes. Souls that are most douced in greed don't know the meaning of being good and godly. God has blessed you with a powerful gift, why not use that gift to do good! Lovely poem, I am with you through this whole poem! great write Robin!!! xoxoxo hugs and kisses all around for you my dear! :)
