I looked up the poorest country in the world It is South Sudan It is located in Africa I think of the homeless here They are poor too I saw a homeless person looking at the menu in the Hardee's drive thru I'm sure he has access to food at the food bank But I know he would rather have some good food Then there was the guy living in his car parked by the library I wonder if he was hot as a car can get really hot on a summer day Then I think of Elon Musk, the richest man in the world Is it fair for one man to have 254 billion, and another to starve? They say it is easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle Than for a rich man to enter heaven I'm sure with his wealth, Elon will just make a bigger needle

About this poem:
What is real wealth? Money is nice, but peace and happiness go a long way too.
Mcradloff, It is so sad that in our country we have poverty. We need to distribute our resources and address the inequalities. Maybe at some point, the poorer states can improve their quality of life.SM
