Knowledge is wealth but wealth is not knowledge. While others strive for knowledge to change their status, many just blindly go after wealth thinking all that is good comes along with it. The end never justifies the means. The means rather justifies the end.

I love how the poem built with the contrast of reality and imagination and idealism. Then climaxes with the character talking about his or her chosen middle ground. Ignoring all that is wrong in his or her world, just content with his or her little perfection. Beautiful piece
