this is a poem about the way we view the world and how others view the world too.
i am a lonely child,
out on the street,
i view the world as a cruel place,
where all the cruel people meet.

i am a young man,
at a rated high school,
my life's going well,
and everything's cool.

i am a middle aged man,
in a dead end job,
my life's going nowhere,
i just want the pain to stop.

i am a rich man in his 50's,
my life's going great!
i have a mansion, a family,
and a 10 acre estate.

i am an 80 year old pensioner,
my times getting near,
but unlike most people,
death i do not fear.

in reality i'm lucky,
i have a family and car,
i have friends,an education,
with some luck i could go far.

so life has many different ways,
of guiding you through time,
i only hope that with this knowledge,
all views could be mine.
