Who is Truly Poor?


Who is truly poor?

The person with hardly any riches,

Or he who is ‘dark’ inside,

And yearns, like Macbeth, for more.

 

Poverty is just a fleeting abstraction,

It’s our selfless nature,

That can turn our lone ‘home’,

Into a place devoid of unwanted mystification.  

 

Being literally charitable is what we must dream of,

It’s there in the heart; just a bit honest search is enough.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

In the 7th line, the word 'home' symbolises the world.
