Rich Man Poor Man

The world is unjust surely........................ but it was not meant to be.

The rich man's lost his dog
Everyone's crying hoarse.
A poor man's lost his child
Ah! not even a remorse.

A Niger ought to be taught
Don't care if he's not guilty.
White man's hand's all red
Admonish! no need for penalty.

Its all about perspective , who's counting the bodies................

Oh this is powerful. I love the wisdom embedded in this poem and I like the first stanza the most. Wonderful piece.

It is saddening to see so many falling for the media hype - we seldom know the truth but humanity judges, sad...wise piece...

You are right Poppy, it is saddening indeed. They really manipulate us.
