Premium Member Giving Thanks

how privileged
are we
living on the lap of luxury
let me rephrase
we don’t have excess money
but we have enough
to help out...

which often
gets us
into situations
but still
it feels like the lap of luxury
because our needs are few

Premium Member There Is a Plan

Some are blessed with piles of money
  others inherit the streets or keyrings

One baby born to the lap of luxury
  a second awakens to grinding poverty

The earth rotates, the wheel of fortune spins
  so much frustration, while fat cats grin

Just know this, my friend, there is a plan
  an age-old formula, it proudly still stands
    ~ that of true love between woman and man

Man On the Moon

Man on the moon-
Why so sad tonight?
Do you see
all the world's plight?

Bombs are flying
there is no peace
As we search
for some release

The poor and weak
die of poverty
While others lounge
in the lap of luxury

Doors locked tight
criminals wander free
Living in constant fear
there's no security

Man on the Moon
that's why you're sad tonight
Because you see
us wallow in this plight.
