A Difference in the Same


Two breathe as if equals

A fixed routine both maintain

Going through the course that is Life

Only differing by the name

They hold identical jobs

And are pulled by the same chains

Yet there is a difference

They are not at all the same

One longs for success

He simply exists

The other has found success

He is the one who lives
