Spoilt For Choice
For those fortunate and more prosperous of us today
as consumers we have too much choice
we are spoilt
and nauseatingly throw so much away
While so many have little or no choice at all
and face starvation everyday.
It seems immoral and unjust
that so many poor people who need it most
have little and life is tough
But the rich have too much and more than enough.
I often when shopping can't make my mind up
and buy things I really didn't set out to buy
out of frustration
with little hesitation.
I feel so fortunate I am one of the lucky ones
but I'm always mindful and try to help
for as for choice
have non.
With the rise of food banks the like little seen before
With large ever increasing cues at the door
While the greedy rich get away without paying tax
Many struggle to pay bills and have debt upon their back.
It's the same old adage as before
the rich get richer
and the poor get more poor.
Gandhi once said after coming to this country. ''These people are living in paradise
and don'y even now it''. when he saw how much we had.
