From Where They Live

From where they live a long hike to wealth and renown
The homeless children of the poor side of town
Their parents in jail serving their prison time
For robbery or larceny or drug related crime
Born to be the children of the lesser Gods
To get to anywhere in life they must battle the odds
Of any form of success they do live in despair
On the poor of the World life is not at all fair
Of those who speak of life's choices for everyone i have had a gut-full
These people they do talk a whole heap of bull
How many of them have been to Poverty Street
And how many homeless people have they known or did meet
From where they live success seems so far away
Life can be so cruel as some are known to say.
