The Grave Digger's Purse

From Riches I think like the Rich.
Their problems in need of being solved.
Where thinking outside of the box
means others less rich or evolved.

Where people who think like the poor
have problems that never get solved.
And thinking outside of their box
means yelling - "The Rich Are Involved".

Where nothing we have is in common
and nothing we share more a curse.
That deaths side by side should mean nothing
than the grave of a grave digger's purse.

Thanks Lyric Man. That was my 3rd attempt at an ending. Kind of a grave decision. LOL
