Not Needed

When people are in dire need, And cannot afford food to feed Their children wear ragged clothes And holes appear in their socks and hose. How do you explain to kids, You've lost your job; you are on the skids. How do you explain that they can't have toys, Like many other girls and boys. Cakes and cookies lollies too, It isn't fair; what did we do? It is tough indeed When you're in need. As other people around you thrive, And you scrimp and scrape to stay alive. You've been waiting for that pot of gold, That's over the rainbow, as it's told. Sadly you realise there is no pot, And you will never have a lot Because some beings are selfish and greedy. And do not associate with the needy.
