The Rich and The Poor

The rich man sees a stone 
Nudge with the tip of his foot
He recognizes its worth
But questions it against his own

The poor man knows of a speck of dirt
Never seen the rich man's gem
He knows not what worth is
And treasures the speck

The rich man walks on
His path littered with gems
He surveys and bides.

The poor man stops in his tracks
His path bared and dirted
He needs and commits

The rich man was not born rich
The poor man was not born poor
