Enmity
The poor man forced to kiss his ring
Bit off the priceless jewel
The enmity between them
Life’s inequity had fueled
Yet both were full of bitterness
Of hubris, and greed
Though they expressed it differently
The same flaw was beneath
The poor man only thinks he’s less
When coveting such lucre
And chronic affluenza
Spawns a soul impoverished neuter
Yet those which know immunity
From envy and self-doubt
See not themselves superior
Nor inferior throughout
