Intriguing

P K Routray

If a comparison is drawn

over the extent of  joy and appreciation

on their food stuff served to a rich and a poor

at their homes for usual lunch and dinner,

naturally rich having many delicious dishes of choice,

poor to feed his hunger with hardly an item but still he rejoices.

The joy, the relish, the poor gets on his dry bread devoid of butter

lacks utterly in the rich even with his choicest seven star dinner.

A poor enjoys a blissful sleep on a hard floor under open sky without a shed

but the rich does not get the sleep with sleeping pills in cozy comfort bed

But alas! If still an opportunity is given to both the position to alter

the rich will never want to be poor but to siege the opportunity to be rich the poor will never falter.

When everybody is praying for and running after peace , happiness and bliss,

Is it not intriguing when opportunity is given knowingly, it, they want to miss?
