So Many

So many poor and downtrodden people in the bigger World out there
Where thousands each day become poorer for every new millionaire
Even in the World's wealthiest Cities the paupers and homeless not rare
The hard road through life may be daunting for those in the pit of despair.

So many living in fear in war zones and so many war refugees
And so many in drought ravaged regions are dying of hunger and disease
And climate change and global warming only gives rise to poverty
Our Karma for the pollution of our Planet at least that's how it does seem to me.

So many orphan children in refugee camps their crime to be born in the wrong place
Without the parents who did love them an uncertain future they face
Compared to many i do feel quite lucky i sleep on a comfortable bed
With enough to eat i never feel hungry and i have a roof over my head.

So many poor and homeless people they live rough and sleep rough at night
Life for them is such a tough journey survival is their biggest fight
Twenty six million people in refugee camps and the numbers are growing every day
They live without hope for their future and that does seem a sad thing to say.
