Do the Rich​.​.​?

from A Trilogy of Random Thoughts & Considerations by cybiont

lyrics

Do rich people feel the same way as I do?
Do they feel happy, do they feel love,
do they feel the heat and cold?
Do rich people have many pairs of shoes?
I guess not, what would they do with those?
With only 2 feet and 10 toes

Do rich people walk far every day?
I guess so, big city is far from here
But still they only got 2 feet for their shoes
But who am I to say how far the rich make on foot?
Maybe life is telling them – to take many steps
On 2 feet with shoes

Do the rich people feel the same way as we do?
It’s difficult to catch their thoughts, to see their eyes
Is that Cause I can’t read and write?
But once I read that heart of sorrow
She gave me bread; maybe she’ll be the one
To take me home tomorrow

We are so very different – the rich and us
Even more so than black and white,
More apart than right and wrong
But we are all breathing, we are breathing
The same air

I wish I could to try to be rich,
To learn their secrets and what makes them tick
In the end I may just return to be me
Shoeless but with 2 feet that are free
