Different Worlds

Jack Hoffman

I walk around the streets

Half smooth, Half cracked

To my left; Fresh cut grass,

Two story houses, and buildings filled

with greedy people wanting more.

As to my right; Pollution fills the air

Barefoot children with blisters on their feet

Continue to walk on the worn out soil

Some clothed

Some not

Either way they ask for nothing more

Then they already have

Yet to my right I see everlasting wealth.
