The Rich and the Poor

Rich man
it has comfort and is envied.
live in an amazing place
beautiful mansion...
Don't live in a hurry,
no distress...
eat the best
drinks what he wants...
Travel around the world,
but wants to inhabit mars...
Choose the muse woman
that she wants...!
Poor man,
sad and ugly,
even survive in life,
does not ask, loses what he desires...
He lives in fear,
no one loves him
no one wants it...
Nobody calls him
sage, genius, poet...
At most, false prophet!
But maybe to heaven
He will go...
while the rich
maybe not even in hell
stay...
maybe he wants
with the poor changing roles...
But the poor man answers,
- "I don't want to be his partner,
nor with him changing places.
neither here nor beyond.".. !

Hello Alakas, the rich have plenty of money. That does not mean the rich man is happy. because money can not buy happiness. the poor man will struggle but there will be times he will be happy. salute my dear friend./Darlene\
