L. Peter-Paul

The Wealth of Access

The Wealth of Access

 

How could I be born in such a place,

What did I do to deserve such grace?

Resources galore, life in abundance 

Our efforts, reduced by their redundance.

 

Why should we have what they cannot?

Practically enthroned, while they sit in rot.

Pleading ignorance for the blatant robbery 

Of this energy winning lottery.

 

They have not half what we hold

Yet, we refuse them this wealth untold.

Access to life, health, and security

They deserve it more than we. 

 

I wish and pray that maybe someday

We could find a way

To reach those in need 

Instead of succumbing to greed. 

 

Love is ever the answer, 

Like elegance to a dancer. 

Something only found in the heart 

As He did before, so must we do our part.
