RICH POOR MAN


A young man rich and poor,superior and inferior

A young man bright yet foolish, brave yet coward

A young man in town in mind, behave as in urban yet in the interior

A young man who knows all,though nothing he has heard

OooH! rich poor man.

 

The youth of today knows all but nothing

The youth tend to have all yet none

The youth of today wants to live town life without anything

The youth of today I wish, of all things, you had even one

Ooo! rich poor man.

 

Knowing all but nothing is the worst mystery in human

Having everything nowhere is the greatest sin that heads our future to hell

Behaving like an achiever yet the best looser is the worst profane

The youth of today i wish you had even vegetables to sell

Ooo! rich poor man.
