Spiritual or materialistic,
theist or an atheist,
conformist or an iconoclast,
faith or reason,
puritan or hedonist.
These are the choices,
for the few,
the rich and privileged.

For the poor,
the teeming millions,
its about the daily grind,
mouths to feed,
bodies to clothe,
roof on the heads
and then if possible,
send children to school.
