Economic inequality (also known as the gap between rich and poor, income inequality, wealth disparity, or wealth and income differences) comprises disparities in the distribution of economic assets (wealth) and income within or between populations or individuals. The term typically refers to inequality among individuals and groups within a society, but can also refer to inequality among countries. The issue of economic inequality is related to the ideas of equity, equality of outcome and equality of opportunity.
Observers differ on both the morality and utility of inequality, whether, and/or how much inequality is necessary in society and how it can be affected. It has been praised as necessary and beneficial, and attacked as a social problem.
Economic inequality varies between societies and historical periods; between economic structures or systems (for example, capitalism or socialism), ongoing or past wars, and differences in individuals' abilities to create wealth are all involved in the creation of economic inequality.

I guess the end is near
The reasons now are clear
Still it seems strange somehow to fall in love
Only to find that love is not enough
Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain
What a cruel twist of fate
To watch our love turn to hate
All of the arguments, the needless fights
Nothing in common, but our sleepless nights
Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain
Heard the thunder miles away
Didn't think that it work out this way
The storm and it rained all night
Washed away your love before the morning light
Like a cigarette in the rain
A single drop would stop the flame
We were lovers, but we were never, never friends
I should known that it won't end
When the first dawn came
Like a cigarette in the rain
Like a cigarette in the rain
