I Want Some More...

I earn my living selling waste –plastic bottles, cans and paper.
I make about five hundred rupees every week
Itbuys me food and clothes.
I want a place to stay.
Only if I had more money…

I am a clerk in the Municipal Corporation.
I work from 9 to 5 every day.
It’s a respectable job
And my family is not in the want for anything.
I want my son to go to a good college.
Only if I had more money…

I am an IT professional.
Life is cool, and work is good.
I earn more than my dad ever did.
I own a Honda City and have my own flat.
I wish to travel abroad.
Only if I had more money…

I own two steel plants outside the city.
A designer family – they call us.
A bungalow, cars, servants and all that jazz!
But I rarely stay at home
I need to travel almost every week – for business
My son is graduating from Yale.
I won’t be able to attend.
I have not seen a movie with my wife in six years.
Only if I had a better life…
