Comparison.

A game of fools.

Comparison.

In different worlds, we live and breathe,

Assumptions made, about each other's deeds.

The poor man thinks the rich got lucky breaks,

While the rich believe the poor are lazy, mistakes.

The graduate, with a job in hand,

Feels smarter than the rest, a superior stand.

The married woman, with children by her side,

Sees childless women, as wayward, with a judging pride.

But little do we know, the struggles and the strife,

The rich man faced, to reach the top of life.

And little do we see, the battles the poor endure,

Their strength and resilience, in a world that's unsure.

If only we could walk, in each other's shoes,

We'd understand the journey, and the heart that chooses.

To appreciate the success, of those who've made it far,

And not assume it's easy, or that they're lucky stars.

Let's not mock or envy, but help each other grow,

And not kill the spirit, of those who struggle to know.

For every step we take, every fight we face,

Is a testament to strength, and a story to embrace.

So let's love and support, and not judge or compare,

For every life is precious, and every soul is rare.

And if we only knew, what people go through each day,

We'd thank God for our own life, and find a better way.
