Some People

Some are rich in wealth 
Some are rich in health 
Some are rich in spirit 
Some are rich in stealth 

Some are poor as dirt 
Some are poor in worth 
Some are poor as snot 
Some are poor, but not

Some of the poor are poor because they give to others, while some of the rich are rich because they are greedy. "Some People" Nicely written, Benjamin!

The 'poor' are not really poor. But people who are poor in worth are indeed really poor. Quite meaningful.
