For
The poor,
We should give
A chance to live -
To rest, work & play -
Day-to-day in a way
That has not the need to bid,
To those atop the pyramid,
For the essentials of human life.
Then, when world suffering is far less rife
And all folk live above the poverty line ,
This here poet, I promise, will cease to whine.
