difference Poem by Happiness Edeh

difference



same world born we all
Rich, poor doth not know
Mmyea...mmyea...mmyea...
A tender cry of arrival
announced.
Arrived we naked
to a beautiful ugly world.
for breast milk yell
rich or poor breast
can we tell?
Thirst and hunger
milk to quench
more, more, wanted we more.
Arms our head lay
Rich or poor
Doth not mind
Comfort to our little
Heads give.

We're grown..
Our difference unveils
Our identity, clear it sticks
Our boundaries a high fence.
If you ever travelled
round the world
You'll sure know
There is a difference
in your eyes it stares
difference between
The Poor and Rich.
The same world live we
But, our worlds are different.
