the tears will still flow



When you are poor
How to be happy?
Everyday you see the familiar trends
On the streets trying to earn a living

Some hustle it
Some beg for a chance
Some sell their bodies
Just to get the money to survive

When you are rich
You think you are happy
Every step outside the house
The bodyguards watch every move

You are living house arrest
You just wish to be ordinary person
Mingling with the ordinary crowd
No fanciful titles no air of power

But you can't
The rich tag flashes out
Into the crowd of unfamiliar faces
Thugs and kidnappers

So rich you can't be happy
So poor you can't make it
You cry of the disparity
But the tears will still flow
