The Haves and the Have Nots

In life there are those haves and those who have not We are told there will always be poor people in life Yet poverty causes me so much strife In life. I hate being so poor I cannot take it any more There has to be success in store. I see the want in the eyes of my wife My child's hunger cuts like a knife There has to be an end of this strife In life.
