True Poverty

In our minds,

In our hearts,

In our souls,

What is true poverty?

Is it the physical attributes of a person?

That they can not dress themselves accordingly.

For then I would be poor to. But am I?

Is it the wealth, the resources, the renowned fame?

For even then I am at the very bottom of that pit.

A nation acclaimed locally, globally and international

as the most poorest living people.

Is indeed the one whereby your wealth, your resources and fame

all originate and descend from.

Through a family I saw the true meaning of wealth and richness.

Through a family I saw the elder that had taken care of the younger

Now taken care of by the youngest of them.

In a family I saw the true meaning of wealth-

But not selfishness.

Poverty is an immaterial feeling to the soul

Poverty is an immaterial feeling to the heart.

Once the heart is lost to it; the mind soon follows

leaving a jagged end to a unique life story.

You measure wealth by paper.

You measure wealth by food?

You measure wealth by four-legged mindless beasts.

You measure wealth by clothes?

I measure wealth by care.

I measure wealth by the strength of unity.

I measure wealth by the simple charity withing people's hearts.

I measure wealth by love,

Love that people welcome you

with their warm open arms and

show you life's happiness, whilst

still maintaining the righteous path.

Let us agree to disagree.

Let us fight our fights.

The true poverty will always be, to me

the inability to love, care and be selfless.

Married two Divorce

I counted twelve weddings one day.

The next year on the very same day.

I counted twelve divorces with

the same lustful couples.

It is easy to say the those three words.

I love you.

It is easier to say those three words and mean it.

I hate you.

We fail as people,

to unite under one home, one name, one family.

It is I before Us.

It is mine before ours.

We delve into anything,

with no sense of experience.

We delve into anything,

without realising the realistic result of our choice.

For better or for worse,

In illness or in health,

until death do you part.

Is now nothing but the common cliché.

For the first week, month, year

you will be both mesmerized by the view

of each others fascinating bodies

but in the crucial moments.

Little and faint will spark up

a phoenix of destruction so great

that it will burn thy hearts and one

shall become 3 separate minds.

I dream of a couple that are intertwined

but with a foundation that sets them apart

I believe that husband and wife

can sustain an admirable relationship with the never-ending space

separating them physical.

Marriage is a bondage

we cannot break it on simple basis,

it is made to be respected for the person before you

is genuine and is like no other in this world as much as you try.

But Marriage, two, divorce is the new thing is it not?

Striving Strife

Education is no longer admired

People are no longer inspired

yet the power of knowledge

is essential for development

Must we first nourish our own

unreasonable and selfish desire?

Or should we be giving the generation to come

An impressive example of the correct use of knowledge?

Teachers,

Help me learn reason in the strikes

that defeats the purpose of evolving young lives.

Help me learn reason in the strikes

that you prevent your own blood from the drink of

knowledge.

Politicians,

Help me see reason in thy greed

when the poor work but starve empty handed

Help me see reason in thy greed

when you only cripple any chance of a heavenly future.

Tribes,

Help me see reason to join thee

in the murder of our own families

Help me see reason to join thee

welcoming; with full trust imposters and banishing our own.

I have had enough of this.

It is not possible for grown adults to act like mere

newborns, whereby your brother tells you to poison yourself

and you do so without thought.

Let us not cheat each other

Saying we are holy; we are not.

But I shall not complain for

my idiotic words will die in vain

However,

what is done in the dark,

shall come to light

Then shall you fear yourselves

But why must we wait to be exposed?
