Comments:
p1 is poetically and aesthetically stated depicting the temporarity of problems. P2 on the other hand depicts poverty as belonging to no one as one is poor today and affluent tomorrow and the reverse is the case. Therefore, no one should be downplayed for being poor neither should anyone brag for being wealthy attributing poverty to a certain class
