Saturday night
2 am; winter.
Temperature 7`
Wind 20mph south
In the city of lights
Somewhere on planet Earth…
In her dad’s big apartment,
She woke with a frustrated groan;
The heating’s too high…
The blanket’s too wooly,
“Ah!”
Who turned the light on downstairs?
What a mess of her beauty rest!
How could they not care to make it the
Best; for her…
The posh princess
On the hard and stony pavement,
She sleeps peacefully…
There is no heating to stop her shivering
No blanket to block the gushing wind.
“Huh!”
Wish the headlights would flash regularly.
Felt a bit warm, though it is perfect today;
Atleast a place to sleep – without them police
Raiding. A perfect place for her…
The pauper’s child
What would happen if they came together?
What would they ask each other?
“How do you maintain your zero-figure?”
“That’s pretty easy…
If you have a piece of dry bread…
And not know when you are having the next..,
The ribs stick out in a breeze.”
“How does it feel to savor fresh food?”
“Well, it’s hard to say…
I only remember throwing it up again only.
I am watching my weight, you see.”
You ask me what you have got to do with this.
Just an innocent little pea without the shell, eh?
I tell you what you done…
You little green eyed monster of jealous envy…
Why do you feel delight to the pauper’s child as food,
While are a pain in the posh princess’s bed…
I ask you
What intentions do
You have; in joining
Two separate worlds
In a bond of irony?
Very deep, thought provoking. I hope to see more of your work. Check out my blog

ReplyDeleteHello there! I wonder what would happen if those two women talked to each other for a while longer. xx
ReplyDelete@ Isabella: no matter how long they talk, the differences will never end. The "Posh Princess" will never realise what privileges she has, and the "Pauper's Child" will always crave to feel these privileges for once in her life.
ReplyDeleteI dont want to sound pessimistic, but this world of differences are our creations, and it is impossible to remove it unless we try to appreciate what we have and let others feel the same happiness too.
Thanks for reading and commenting, Btw. Please keep on coming here for more. Thanks again. xxx
