Rich and Poor

a poem by Adarsh Pradeep

It’s jolly being rich,
I don’t have the perfect breakfast
Man!

I walk into a store
I come out with a trunk full of stuff
Great!

I go to play pool
I should have won more

I’m such a fool!

It’s sad being poor
I have no food
Man!

I walk into a store
They kick me out thinking I’m drunk
Great!

Now what do I do?
I should have listened to my mom

I’m such a fool.
