SEE THE MILLIONS
 

See the millions,
they are all around,
who will spend a life of struggle,
before returning to the ground.

See the millions,
new babes born each day,
parents who can't provide or teach,
it's always been this way.

See the millions,
struggling just to get by,
most never rise too high,
most never even know why.

It is bad in America,
much worse most other places,
see the millions who struggle,
see the millions of lost faces.

These millions pay the taxes,
do most of the work also,
each day they're further in debt,
each day they see their bills grow.

So many without a home,
many with no food to eat,
many just a few days away,
from also being in the street.

Many don't have the education,
that some positions require,
so many others are laid off,
many forced to retire.

The reasons are so many,
it is an age old tale,
see the millions struggle,
see the millions who fail.

Will it ever get better?
First it may even get worse,
things work in such funny ways,
sometimes they go in reverse.

See the millions who never,
even had a fighting chance,
then think of some so wealthy,
they ride around their ranch.
