Sonnet: The Rich And The Poor

The rich become richer and the poor poorer; This is the way in which this world goes on! Men may become suddenly rich, not born; A rich man turns suddenly a beggar. The few pennies are snatched off from the poor; The brunt of taxes are but borne by them; They can’t make both ends meet by any sum; The rich hoodwink the taxman- their brother! Will the world treat people alike ever? All men are born unequally today; Yet, if it happens, ’twill be a wonder; No matter what you do, things happen this way. The rich become richer not by real work; The poor become poorer though they hardwork!
