Everything is getting tighter

It’s getting harder to live,

Those who have wealth

Are uncaring and dismissive,

The gap between the haves

And the suffering have not,

Could not be wider now

But we’re told to accept our lot,

But when your children cry

And it’s hopeless to stop,

When your pockets are empty

And you feel as a parent you’ve flopped,

But everything is rising

Like energy, food and fuel costs,

And then they post massive profits

It leaves me astounded and at a loss,

How can they make people suffer like this

Money and profits first is all about greed,

What about the people

Everyone that is in need,

Governments and corporations

Are not worried about our inability to eat,

Or the difficulty to support our families.
