People, by their DNA, are brothers,
All of whom depended on their mothers
Up to a point; if I had my druthers,
People would be much nicer to each other.

IF they were, it is probably safe to say,
There might be a different and a better way,
WHere folks combined their efforts and their pay
And helped each other get by, day to day.

Of course, every system has abusers,
And even this idyllic scene would probably involve some takers and some users,
Who would puff them selves up and say they were just choosers,
And look down on everyone else and call them losers.
