Doesn't Life Seem Hard For Many

Doesn't life seem hard for many and doesn't life seem so unfair
And thousands must grow poorer for every new millionaire
Every day due to links with poverty fifty thousand people die
And those who say we all are equal the reality deny

That there is no such a thing as equality in the Human World out there
If that were true of wealth we all would have an equal share
The majority of the World's wealth and assets belong to the privileged few
And the value of a thousand dollars to the privileged is a dollar value to you.

Yet compared to many people I am wealthy just the same
There are millions in the world without a penny to their name
And millions dying of hunger and millions of refugees
Who risk their lives in search of a home in unseaworthy boats in the dangerous seas.

Doesn't life seem hard for many who have to live in despair
From the dingy lanes off of no hope street of ever getting anywhere
Near the leafy boulevard of success street born to the wrong mum and dad
And though hard enough your life is compared to some 'tis not so bad.
