Two Different Stories

From the window they were watching,
A pair boys with their backs loaded with bags,
Except the fact that their bags were rags.
Following them was another pair of boys,
With their backs carrying load too, as they look
But the load this time was of books.

With the breaking of dawn begin two different stories,
And they are really different from the tales of kings, queens and glories.
One with smiles and other with garbage piles,
One with books and other with starvy looks.

Still they think what this difference brings into their lives?

The destination is not same, nor may be their aim,
But they cant blame, their life or their name.
It may be winter, summer or rain,
But the dress covering their body can never remain the same.

The difference is not their god or their games,
But the thoughts their brain tames.
Their foot may be naked or covered,
But their childhood cannot be recovered.

The reasons behind their smiles,
And the distance covered in miles,
Cannot be same for lifetime,
As their struggle for living becomes prime.

The difference is not skeptical,
When visioned through two frames of spectacles.

Makes me wonder why they are still watching from the same window frame,
when their stories are the two ends of a river far from being same.
