WHO ARE THE LUCKY ONES?



What looks like truth
often is not

Looking thru the keyhole
often does not tell
the full story
—-
He had it all
we had little

but

We found joy in our little
he miserable in his all
---
He stood in his Armani suit, pearly white teeth, Salvatore Ferragamo dress shoes
we in our Levis, dirty nails and tattered tennis shoes

Our hearts full
his empty

We drink tea
he whisky

We are draped in truth
he in lies

Who are the lucky ones?
---
Riches and royalty 
often do not fill the soul
often they leave a big hole
that can never be filled

While

Simplicity and honesty
often fill the heart
and the soul

So once again I ask …

Who are the lucky ones?
