The Pang of the Middle Class

You look down and see 
There are lot of people with out proper meal
On the street beg children 
Thousands of people without sanitation 
And you take a pang 
In your mind always moves a plan
How to develop  
How to uplift them 
And you live nearer to them,
 Just above their rung 
They look up and see you 
And call you all the bad names 
But the crux of the fun is that 
They all like to be like you middle rich man 
But the opposite happens 
When you look up 
And see those fantastic  men
Who  rides  the uppermost rung
With wonder you find 
For you there is no sympathy  
Rather they look at you frowning down
