A Tale of Two Cities
Crème de la crème of society
Bone de la bone of the beggary
Castles suffocating with excess loot
Thatched huts with nakedness afoot
Mansions ignorant of starvation
Shanties bereft of constipation
Wardrobes of polished shoes, suits and ties
Cupboards riddled with bugs, roaches and flies
Despite the abundance, children are just a pair
While in lack, procreation is spared the care
When all is said and done, we arrive at the divide
When all that is left is for the earth to open wide
