Poverty
1 million spent here, 1 million dropped there.
No big deal, right?
The regular world revolves while
wallstreet spins and accumulates.
The rich get richer.
The poor starve.
Never enough.
vs.
Too much.
Scavengeing for the next meal
or searching for the next mansion.
Both feel equally important.
One could save a life.
The man in the street
stares in disbelief.
The limo driving by him never slows
as it nicks the edge of his shopping cart,
sending him spinning to the ground.
The politician in the backseat
tells his driver keep going.
"He's not a taxpayer, anyway"
1 million spent here, 1 million dropped there.
No big deal, right?
