Life Swap
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [Life Swap]
If public schools are to the poor
And private schools are to the rich
Then let’s have different education minister
Since our levels are different

If voting is to the poor
And holding position is to the rich
Then let’s have different Presidents
So as to know who leads who

If making laws is to suffer the poor
And favor only the rich
Then let’s have different republics
So as to know who has sovereignty

If disgusting vicinity is to the poor
And serene environment is to the rich
Then let’s rename everywhere
So as to know who belongs where

If infringement is to the poor
And breaking the laws is to the rich
Then let’s know who the laws are meant for
So as not to generalize it

If blue collar job is to the poor
And white collar job is to the rich
Then let’s know who should be educated
So as not to waste our time for education

If blackout is to the poor
And electricity is to the rich
The lets know who pays the light bills
So as to know who should expect light and bills

If just for a day, the rich becomes the poor
While the poor becomes the rich
Then your prayers would be equality
And not these nonchalant acts

    I like this poem, I wish it appears on N.T.A so that our rancorous leaders will see it. Feel free to visit my blog at http://www.emekenwaoboli.wordpress.com
