The Underworld

Under the world of the rich
Below the higher class
Lurk the poor, and the gloomy
Ones who live in the past

Enjoying every moment
Any might be their last
Yet looked down upon

By this higher class
They feel as though
They are discarded trash
Only the poor
Can make joyful moments forever last
They lurk under the world
Of the rich higher class
