The 3rd World Weeps First

So, Ms. Librarian I’m telling you, half glasses on a string of pearls from the dollar 
store                    THE THIRD WORLD WEEPS FIRST    
The other day I was perplexed so I  pondered and reckoned
It occurred to me that the Third World always comes second
The other night I came to the conclusion that what’s really the worst
Is that the Industrial Nations always come first

Hey, it’s more important for Mr. Important to get his T-Bone steak
Then to look at youthful skin and bones that cause my heart to break
I hear all the pleas for donations from some organizations
But why would anyone collect money for other irrelevant nations?

We’ve got our own problems to reflect and repair
So forget those hungry mothers whose breasts have no milk to share
Simply make sure he’s comfy with Tammy his assistant on a plush leather chair
Mrs. Important knows about Tammy and finds this whole exercise in selfishness quite fair

Well fair it ain’t and I can tell  you why in ways by the score
Because no matter how our economic stimulus is all Americans want is more
More of what Mr. Moore has more of him then him and one lovely daughter
But does anyone realize that billions of people on this planet are drinking stagnant and parasitic 
water?***

So this may only be conjecture but I heard some gentleman saying something
Something about he bought his wife a flawless six carat diamond ring
S**t, sell that ring and feed, house, and clothes billions of people not named Jones and you 
won’t have to keep up with the rich
Or instead purchase a new Ferrari, Lamborghini or Excalibur for your b***h

If you have the time and the inclination to do so….Google “Water Charity,” and see how 
profoundly easily you can change one person’s life for a very long time…..Peace out….or 
in…..~free cee!~
PRECISELY HOW MANY YOUNG CHILDREN, WHEN GRANTED ACCESS TO ANY WEB SITE 
ANYTIME ANYWHERE THEY WOULD COME TO POETRYSOUP TO LOOK AT A profane WORD 
~free cee!~ used today….SORRY, BUT GO BACK TO PLAYING MARIO BROTHERS.
