              Redistribution of Wealth

Money's the root of all evil, it's true
(Though one does need a little to ensure one's health)
But these days such riches are held by so few
That we need a redistribution of wealth.

There's people in Africa (and elsewhere as well)
Who need us to help them as bad as can be.
In order that they escape their living hell
I think everyone should now listen to me(!)

It's high time we all started thinking as one
And pulling together as the century ends;
Although it looks doubtful that this'll be done
It's imperative that we reverse current trends.

So I plead once again, let's buck up our ideas
(I don't care if we do it by force or by stealth)
And over the course of the coming few years
Implement a redistribution of wealth....
