Poor!!! Who???
Poor!!! Who???

My broken heart
Like the ripped cloth
Of a beggar on the street
Both of us unable
To hide our poverty,
His due to lack of wealth
Mine due to lack of love!
The holes in my soul
Like the holes in his plate
That he uses to beg
Clear markers
Of our deprivation
He deprived of abundance
Me deprived of acceptance!
My hollow eyes
Like his hollow stomach
Both wilting in hunger
His arising from need
Mine arising from greed
To fulfil desires!
Who is more poor,
I ask myself
As I stand in front of him
Looking for a reflection
Of my destitution
In his desolate life
He, for the lack of home
Or me for the dearth of love?
