Han Min Ohn - Voices from the Third World

World nowadays displays many extremes
Some people well paid and others receive only a dim
Well-paid guys get too much extra money to spare
So they compete with the poors in buying not only the rare

Compete they in buying luxury to basic commodities
And rising of prices for them is just a casualty
But for the poors who have barely enough to eat
Even a single dollar rise is sufficient to cause a weep

Why don't those rich guys lower their wages they cry
They have too much which no one can deny
And by having too much they are harming the world
Raising the prices and and buying for them all!
