The Difference
People here
live in cages
They are
surrounded by walls
They peep
out through their windows
Their doors
are always locked.
They always
keep an eye open
An eye of
suspicion!
Their hearts
are filled with doubts
Their expressions are so confusing
Their minds
are always presuming.
They try to
build a shelter
A protective
shell for their family
In truth a
hiding place for their wealth
They try to
keep it safe
From preying
eyes of this world
People here
live in cages
They are surrounded
by walls
Their windows
are always shut
Their gates
are always locked.
But people
who live on daily wages
Are surrounded
by their neighbours
Their homes don’t
have doors
Earth is their
floor, their ceilings have holes.
They don’t
try to build a house
They carry
with them their homes
Their wealth
is in their heart
For that they don't need a vault
They don’t
have a place of their own
But you’re
always welcome to their home
They don’t
peep out through their windows
They just
come out of their homes.
The poor
live on this planet
The rich
spend their life in cage
A cage that
they have built for themselves
A place for
them to hide
The poor
walk barefooted on the other side
