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 ©2011.…..Phreepoetree 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.
