Two Sides of a Coin

By Avanti Hebbar

In the cold of the night,

And the days so rough,

There stands a man, still tough.

Working day and night,

In snow and rain to feed hungry mouths,

Hoping for a future bright,

Toiling and sweating,

Oft bleeding and in pain,

He toils and works,

With hope in his heart for that next meal.


Next to him walks a businessman tall,

Dressed to his fingertips,

Flaunting his riches and all,

The toiler looks at him in awe.

Both so close, yet a bridge so far,

The chasm between rich and poor,

One lives in luxury's gleam,

The other ponders his next meal's score.


A stark difference, profound and strong,

Leaves the toiler questioning what's wrong,

Why life isn't fair,

Why burdens he must bear.


Is toiling a sham?

Or is nobility merely a scam?


In the relentless march of time,

The disparity etches a rhyme,

Of the never ending struggle,

Where fortune plays with futility.


Yet in the toiler's heart beats a fire,

Of resilience and unquenched desire,

To bridge that gap, to defy the odds,

To rise above, despite the facade.
