Whos the Rich Man?

• Two ways in which this world is torn,
• people who are rich and people who are poor.
• When people think rich they think wealthy,
• those people with a lot of money that seem happy
  and healthy.
  
• Dirty and lonely is what we think when we think
  poor,
  
• people that all our food donations are for.
• When I think poverty I think a lot more,
• poverty is when people dont have much to live
  for.
  
• Rich is when you live your life the fullest you
  can,
  
• so out of these two people who is the rich man?

Whose the Rich Man?

• How could it be that the wealthy man lives in
  poverty and the poor man is rich,
  
• most people think this should be switched.

  friends,

  ends?

• or was is the 2nd man because he had friends and
  family to live for?
  
• Which one lives life the best way he can,
• really which one is the rich man?
