"I don't say, one bodies the other
One's spiritual truth;
But I do say it's hard to lose either,
When you have both."

This poem is broken up into quatrains.  If I'm being completely honest, I would have to say that I really did not get this poem at all.  The above excerpt went too deep for me, and I did not follow it.  I think it's pretty important though because the poem ends with this quote.  I thought that the speaker was poor and trying to explain that it is O.K.  The bills are being paid, and a fire is in a bucket like the homeless may do.  The children have no shoes, and everyone is skinny but not starving.  He will never be able to get the fame, girl, and the money, and he has accepted that.
