THE GAP BETWEEN

The big dreams
Of small time hope
Walks the capitals
Streets of stone
Its burning eyes
Pours utter contempt
Its cruel judgement
Humanity spent.

The minimum wage
Survive not live
Its millionaires
Mostly keep not give
Flash cars
Speed on by
Eyes never meeting
The hungry by.

The foodbank
Or homeless shelter
Burning sun
Or freezing Winter
More poverty
The gap between
Rich and poor
Too extreme.
