Think

Money the root of all evil the way some people spend is really unbelievable 
The lavish goods the cars the yachts even the rolex watch
Now I'm not a begrudger but come let's look at one another
Everyone should be treated like each other 

We spend and we spend and some condescend turning their nose up to what's around the bend.
Not a care in the world for the hungry or the starving 

These people are suffering day in day out as there labeled and tagged as the down and outs.
Do people forget we were brought up to respect and treat one another as if we were brother's.

So spare a thought for these so call down and outs and stop flaunting your riches and shoving it in their snouts.
All they ask for is a little help in their lives to ease their worries troubles and strifes.
