558. Poem by Jaden Knight

Sonia loves to drive to work in her new silver bmw
racing through the streets with ease
singing along to the blaring music from her car radio
hoping to block out the stress

Paul has to walk or take a bus
taking his time along the beach
hearing only the cries of the gulls
and the relaxing sound of the waves

She is an executive in an office
earning more money than she can count
he works as an office manager
but the boss doesn't pay as well as he should

Her wardrobe is stocked with the latest fashions
everything has to look like it is the best
he doesn't have much in the way of clothes
but he still looks good when he goes out

Sonia doesn't have many people she can call friends
and doesn't get invited out very often
Paul goes out every weekend with his buddies
every time is somewhere new and exciting

We can view their lives as not the same
but there is a similarity between them
in different ways they are rather poor
but in others they are both very rich
