 The Rich and The Poor
Everybody will like to be called a rich person
To be rich is to be labeled successful and prosperous
Many will call you affluent, high-class and wealthy

Nobody will like to be known as a poor creature
To be a poor creature is to be wretched and deprived
Many will tag you as underprivileged and a destitute
The poor are also labeled impoverished and lower-class

We all know that we live in a world of contrast
While some are born rich, many are born poor
Many princes and princesses are born into opulence
While the off-spring of refugees are born into poverty
Everybody knows that human fingers are not equal

The question here is – can the rich become poor?
On the other side of the coin – can the poor become rich?
There have been instances when the rich later become poor
The rich can become poor through massive gambling
The rich can become poor through ill-advised investments
The rich can become poor through reckless spending

Conversely, we have witnessed some poor becoming rich
The poor can become rich by winning the lottery
The poor can become rich through inheritance
The poor can become rich through savings and investments
The poor can become rich through marriage

Many ask – do the zodiac signs determine our fortune on earth?
The answer is negative as there are rich and poor in all signs
Others ask – does our place of birth determine our fortune?
Since we humans can migrate to other countries
There are no definite answers to linking our birth-place
to whether we are rich or poor on this earth

All said and done, we humans possess enough intelligence
to improve our fortune and have better existence on this earth
Whether you are rich or poor, always remember that
No condition is permanent. Good luck and happy destiny
