the fringe dwellers
those forgotten people
those who society
cares little for
the slums of the city
the shanty towns
the suburban blocks
are where they are found
no jobs
no money
no future prospects
this is their way of life
and ever will it be so...
the rich denying them a piece of the wealth pie
the fringe dwellers have not a good cast of the dice
they'll be kept in disadvantage by the monied few
a sparsity of cash yet they make do
our society isn't even of hand
a divide in social class seems to stand
twill there be a bridge of the inequity
which so blatantly pervades our society
