“The Illusion of Wealth”
Title: “The Illusion of Wealth”
A healthy income they possess,
Yet trapped in a life of distress,
Society labeled them “the poor,”
But their struggles ran deeper for sure.
Bills stacked tall, debts beyond count,
Financial burden causing a surmount,
The illusion of wealth, a cruel deception,
A struggle masked by a comfortable reception.
Ambitions thwarted, dreams forced to halt,
Their income, mere fragments of a fault,
Unseen factors that held them back,
Shadowing prosperity along their track.
Inequality’s grip, a silent oppressor,
Stripping away dreams with every endeavor,
Burdened by a system they couldn’t navigate,
Their yearning for freedom – a dire state.
But amidst the darkness, hope finds its way,
Guided by knowledge, they learn to sway,
Unveiling the truth, breaking free from the bind,
Empowered by their resilience, no longer confined.
