The World Today

The mighty prosper.
The weak perish.
The rich live in abundance
The poor starve.
Thieves are free to roam around;
The honest are slut up in jails.
Where are we drifting to?
Where is the end of this road?
Workers, wake up, you had nothing to los
but your jobs.
Now, even they are gone!
You lived on your starvation wages
Now, you have not even wages.
You may get job as a laborer.
You toll day,
You toll week.
You feel thankful.
You are the lucky one among the poor,
For you will get your soup every day,
While others walk the streets.
Walk the streets all week and don't
Even smell the soup.
Many give up in despair.
Many sell their souls,
They are the weak ones
Many suffer but fight,
They are the ones who
