The New Poor

`


Come and have a look at the new poor -

These kids walk down the same streets
eat the same food, almost

wear the same clothes, almost
one is imitation designer
the other only a slightly better brand

they both go to school
one in private the other public
but they watch the same tv
play the same video games

one asks if he is a street kid
why, he refuses to beg or steal!
the other has no other income
receives what could be hardly called an allowance
they both are rich, they both are poor
