Poverty defines true wealth
I don't know if humans will ever see,
every soul born, is right where its meant to be.
For the rich to become the richest,
there has to be a place for the poorest.
The entire world is built up from the same level of dirt,
each soul is born without knowledge to cause hurt.
Humanity teaches us what a humans life is worth,
by money and glory.
I am to believe all lives are priceless, every soul fits to tell Earths story.
The luckiest to be born, is that if a poor man,
he learns the treasures of everything he can.
Those born into all riches, have no true understanding of richness.
Seeing us not as humans, but those living in poverty, as an illness.
Love starts from the soul, and from there it's taught to grow,
the rich find another kind of love,
one only brought with dough.
Love, trust, compassion and grace defining the difference, in richest and wealth.
T'is the begger off the street, who climbs the toughest road to earn his wealth.
He is the most blessed man, he is rewarded the most valuable key,
for his wealth is humanly uncountable.
For only God knows the true value of he...
