We, in the same boat?

are you sure?

no, no… never.

you with a big car, me just my two legs

your big house and my little rented room

five meals a day and a struggle for a single one

small family and few mouths to feed

big family with many mouths to feed

your pockets are full, mine is struggling for a penny

expensive clothes daily; new clothes once in a while

are we still in the same boat?

no never

our boats are different in the sea

rough and tough

bumpy and uneven

challenges and turbulence

teaching you and me great lessons in life

that, we are yet to appreciate.
