Rich vs Poverty
When you try your best but you don't succeed
when you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired that you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace when you love someone but it goes to waste
COULD IT BE WORSE?
Of course, it could be worst wealth vs poverty
Everybody's always talking about the money
But not once do they look at the ones in need
As humans like we are
Take a step into the impoverished feet
Do you know what that feels like?
Shoeless - dirty - arguing with the grumbling in their stomach
Dreaming on the complete opposite of clouds
The filthy ground
And you'll be lucky enough to find a bench
Sitting on the street begging for bread
Meaning money and food
Try to get them off the street instead of bragging about all the money that you’ve got
All anybody ever does is look down on them and what they've got
When in all reality they should be the ones to look up to as strong people for being able to go through struggles and still be alive
Take a look around do you see them in the parking lots
Sleeping on the ground
Maybe begging you for money
Open up your eyes and help out
When you try your best but you don't succeed
when you get what u want but not what u need
When you feel so tired that u cant sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace when you love someone but it goes to waste
COULD IT BE WORSE?
The rich think they're better
Yes they think they're better
Because they have all the stuff
And have more than others
They got big houses
New cars
New Phones
And new shoes
They don't see what's going on around them
All they see is the money around them
The blind don't see the mess they cause
While the rich boast about what they got and the impoverished wonder what they could have
Think about what you could be giving them
Think about the last bits of food you scrape off your plate into the rubbish
HELP THOSE IN POVERTY NOW
