For Many Life Must Seem Unfair

In Zimbawbe millions of people starve doesn't life seem so unfair
Their crops have failed due to the drought that has been lingering there
And they must depend on foreign aid and on the aid workers who for them care
And ten thousand people must grow poor just to make one millionaire.

For many life must seem unfair no rain clouds in the sky
For months on end it hasn't rained the ground is cracked and dry
The old and frail and the very young of hunger first to die
That all human beings are equal is of course an obvious lie.

The mother foregoes her breakfast meal yet her hungry child doesn't thrive
For many life must seem unfair they struggle to survive
And even in so called wealthy countries there is want and poverty
And only money makes you equal in human society.

For many life must seem unfair it's uphill all the way
And not far from where the wealthy live there's hunger and decay
The majority of the assets of any country is owned by the wealthy few
How come it has to be this way? I wish I only knew.

In Zimbabwe in Africa the earth is cracked and dry
And it hasn't rained for months on end and no rain clouds in the sky
Their crops have failed long months ago and the people in despair
And for these unfortunate people life must seem so unfair.
