The Feeling Is the Same
No matter our standing
in a material world
We are all emotional clones
The shallow import of fiscal weight
can cloud what’s already known
Feelings can’t be put to scale
Not measurable in terms
Like precious gems not for sale
Humanity reaffirms
If you can, help a thousand
If you can’t, help just one
There's no less reward
or feeling of love
Though you may be poor
in a rich man’s game
Our wealth is in feeling
The feeling is the same
