How are the rich and poor alike?

[rayheinrich]

They never have enough.

[Leanne]

Trouble is, only the poor think they're alike at all.

they both like to do it doggy style?
they both dream (both kinds)
they both hurt
I could go on but the doggy style was my best one.

My cats get severely pissed (though, truth be told, they find that quite easy)
when that particular sex style is called "doggy". They hate their sharp pointies being
labeled "canine" as well.

Their arseholes point downwards?

Their arseholes point downwards?

No, they don't...     a cruel fact of life for us beings who must live with them:

[billy]

they all masturbate, except the ones with no arms.
they all need water to drink and food to eat, sadly some don't have either.
they can all be amazed, except those in a coma.

[justcloudy]

They all have Facebook.

[bena]

Not me! I'm a rebel! (although there is a Melanie Mills on Facebook....she is an imposter!)

[justcloudy]

Edit-- They all have Facebook, or if not, proclaim so loudly at any chance they get.

both have the "r" grapheme.

both have the "r" grapheme.  

I recognize your existence, even though I must do so on faith.*


*And on my conviction that the Dharma you hold dearest profess a sense of joy,
a modicum of trust, and the use of the word "grapheme".

"Trouble
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry...
Worry, worry, worry, worry
Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone
I swear this worry won't leave me alone "

Rich or poor we all have the same worries and troubles great or small it's there but the way we comfort ourselves is what makes us different . What a rich man may see as just a common everyday thing or materialistic item . Is viewed differently thru a poor man's eyes .

...and your point is? Or rather, your very cliched black American negro blues spiritual Devil's island Johnny Cash Leadbelly Howlin' Wolf disenfranchised point is?

Sorry, I mean is this your poem and is it in the right forum.

If you want it moving just say the word.

I believe the quoted lyrics are by Ray Lamontagne. Always best to credit the author when quoting, especially on a site where we post our own work. It avoids confusion.

They are both the same, with the exception that one is rich and the other poor. An exception that makes all the difference.
