Strikethrough

Wealth. Poverty.
Arrogance. Humility.

That which is broken,
Replaced. Patched.

Earnings stashed in
An elite bank account.
A dirt worn cup.

Dinner is a stomach filled.
With fallen crumbs.

Excess dollar bills trashed in haste.
The last of the change traded for bread.

A little breeze from
A little pressure of the foot.
Sitting beside the sidewalk.

Lose it all in a moment,
Fall painfully to one's knees.
Stand up, start over.

Still needs work; will be revised.
