The Poor Man's Philosophy
"The Human mind..."
The Human mind
A million different brains all differently wired
Creating what we call Humanity.
Yet somehow within this world, Humanity has become less perceptible
The good die young,
And the bad die old
Yet somehow within this world, Humanity can unfold.
The rich grow more needy
And the poor grow selfless.
While the rich ones are too busy investing in self-interest
Those one the streets who served our country become more distant.
Some will give you their last dollar
While others will look you down as if you're smaller.
Morals are weak and compassion is bleak
While a poor man's philosophy
Struggles to be noticed, constantly.
Day in and day out
Some days will start with a dollar in a hand for some,
For others, it ends with a last dollar being taken away
and Left by nothing
But his empty hands splayed.
