Modern toys for you and me
are dreams for others to
visualize but never see.
They have, but only food,
morsels for themselves
and their family.
Clothes are there nothing
special for not a one
for no money there for
eccentricities.
Each day they would wish
and dream for food enough
for the day.
They would even hope for
water to come there way.
This was the life of poverty
you see for everyone poor
was that way.
Can you not see how lucky
we are today to not have
to exist but enjoy life
in our own way.
Pray for those less fortunate
then thee for you know one day
it could even be me.
