Human Understanding is very rare these days,
Too much value is placed on the all mighty dollar
and simplicity taken away.

People are judged by what they have not by what they need,
Even if a piece of bread is all that they seek.

If you are poor you do not stand a chance,
for human understanding to give you a second glance.

Money is more important than that homeless on the street,

For in this world we live in the simple things we never can retreat.

Kindness, love, and caring of the human race,
Unfortunately my friends, have all been replaced.

Money is now our leader and our God,
The Human factor is forever gone!

Our lives are beset with our quest for wealth,
No time to understand ourselves.

Think once, think twice to what I say,
How will you fare come judgment day!

Most poor will have value that is simple but high,
But wealth and power will push them aside!

That child on the street though homeless she may be,
Will always have a smile for you and for me!

Will your return that smile or just walk away?
And deny her a future by your actions today!

Think once, Think twice to what I say,
Most of what I have seen these days,
People don't care and would just walk away!

If you don't have a dollar,you won't get a dime,
Even to ask is a waste of time!

I do believe come judgment day,
The poor, through them Peril Gates, will lead the way!

Their values though simple but high,
Will be able to push the wealthy aside!

Their kingdom will finally come,
Kindness, love and caring of the human factor will once again be number one!
