I remain
full of love
as I live in a land
built on hope
but
what if I had been born
in a land
filled with despair
and little else
I still believe
with the soul I possess
that I would be full of hope
as its a hope not of this world
and hope like despair
are just two choices
one has on how one wishes
to view his or her world
others may disagree
but they are they
entitled to their view
as I am me
for I stand to buttress my
deep inner belief
with proof many times over
witnessed
by aid workers
among the poorest in the world
you will still find a simple
inexplicable inner happiness
and subsequent humor
for no matter how dim
the circumstances
the soul that navigates such
abysmal waters is
internally bright
bearing witness to hardship
but shining its light upon
the most humble of habitat
and beautifying such place
as the cradle of their very existence
after all
to the soul human born
where ever they live
that is bequeathed to them by God
as their home
no matter how sparse, wretched or
brief their dwelling
that is why
it is the poorest child that laughs
loudest
for the lord greatly blesseth
even as he maketh thee to
so harshly endure
'tis but for the better meant
of thine soul's education
so pity not the poor
rather aid them gladly
and respect such souls
so advanced that they are
willing to endure more hardship
than say a middle class life
lived out to a comfortable
elderly death
some where
in the heart of
the abundance
that is
the western diagram
while though to the masses it
would seem one with so many
materials is advantaged
really
from the view of our soul's home
quite the reverse I dare admit
is the more likely great truth...............
