Life Isn't Suppose To
Be This Way
Life isn't suppose to be this way
No one should have to struggle
No one should have to stress over
healthcare, dental
or basic living necessities
No one should have to work 160
hours a month to live
And seventy-five percent of money earned
going to pay bills
Yet executives of corporations
earning up to a thousand times more
It shouldn’t be this way
And creates an atmosphere of greed
and selfishness
Millions are held hostage by low
wage paying jobs
Trying to maintain a decent
standard of living
Trapped in a system of poverty and
disenchantment
Made to feel less than another by
material possessions
And looked down upon by those with
judgmental views and beliefs
Judged by the color of one’s
skin or the amount of accumulated money or wealth
Life isn't suppose to be this way
Life is more than a credit score
More than a job title or
description
More than a fancy car or big dream
house
Love should prevail over greed and
ego at all times
But we continue to be blind and not
see
We continue to ignore poverty
We continue to build walls of
separation
Instead of bridges of love and
compassion
We are all one and life isn't
supposed to be this way.
