Vilmos Zoltan Galyo Poet Free verse

Difference

Difference

So many people, so many lives, 
Who lives in the north, or south
Others are in the east and west

Many people live in a rich country
Others in poor lands of the Earth
Of course, some are not here nor
there

In every poor country, there is the wealth
in every rich country, there is the destitution
Good existence and poorness – opposites

Social difference, hm, this is a big mistake
Civilization, civilization? Hmm. Is it a reality
Yes, this a true phenomenon, but not the
… civilization

Civilization can not exist without a good heart
No, never. Just look around in the world. See?
Here is a homeless, there are hungry children

So obviously the difference; is infuriating; disgusting
So many people are suffering – there are no bits of help
Help? Just for money, for a lot, this is my experience

Sometimes I am walking on the streets, and just watching
Watching, the shop windows, the restaurants – this is west
West, I came from East Central Europe, which is also rich

People, do not even think about their poor fellows on Earth? 
Why? Egoism? Insensitivity? Selfishness?; Is it come from?
From where? There is no answer, but have it, Somewhere

Somewhere else, in the soul. Hmm. Here is the answer; I mean
No composure, fear of loss, money-loving lifestyle; and rivalry
But these are not all. Not. But the rest will be another poem.
