Poor! Rich!
I hunger, I sick;
I poor, you rich!
I birth, I Old;
I whore, I sold,
I labor, I pain;
I schlep, you gain,
I bellyache, you roar;
I Poor!
You birth, you young;
You customer, I sold,
You mistake, you scold,
Your story, you told,
Your diamond - you stich;
You Rich!
I vote, you rule,
I build, you school;
You decree, I fool,
I water your pool;
I blind!
I disease!
You shine!
You Seas!
I extinct!
I erased!
You blessed!
I bleed!
I resist! I terrorist!
You rule, I beast!
I scream, I insane,
You golf, your game!

Thank you Saiket. I will ensure and try maximum reach. Happy that you could relate to the poem which is somewhat oddly done.
Yes...this is where we are and we can make some difference.
