In Our Time

There are worlds out there,

And ways of living,

That I have no way to comprehend.

There are those whose wealth,

I can only see as waste,

But whose lifestyles I would love to experience.

And others, for sure,

Who live in destitute poverty,

A way of living I also do not understand.

At the very moments I am struggling,

Others are living beyond any reason,

And while my plate is ample,

Others are just hoping to find food for survival.

But we all live in our own time,

And we roll along on our chosen pathways,

Ever struggling against the barriers,

Which keep us in our places.
