APART - A Poor And Rich Timeline
Rich going after money
Poor trying to earn a penny
Rich lives in luxury
Poor lives in poverty
But both will end at the same destiny
Rich able to help the needy
Poor at times become dependent fully
Rich have enough to enjoy and being wealthy
Poor never enough to be happy and healthy
But both will not live on earth permanently
Rich sometimes gets greedy,
Poor sometimes got no choice for robbery
Rich sometimes escape through bribery
Poor sometimes tries to escape illegally
But both must be punished equally
Rich can be poor emotionally
Poor can be rich mentally
Rich can fail in spirituality
Poor can be strong physically
But both can be likewise, eventually
Rich saves for sunny
Poor saves for rainy
Rich plans well financially,
Poor has no plans on monetary
But both share the same currency
Rich has life security
Poor lives without assurity
Rich is minority
Poor is majority
But both have their own community
Rich is sleeping tightly
Poor wants to sleep peacefully
Rich rise fruitfully
Poor rise to survive daily
Finally, both experience living their life differently
About this poem
I would like to share an experience of both poor and rich life on earth. I'm coming from a space of feeling poor during my younger days and now I'm slowly growing to be better person. At this current situation many are struggling and yet to come to their realization, so i wrote this poem to remind us where we are and how we treat others with equality and humanity.
