seeds of poverty

 

 

Lingering

in uncertain times

prospers insecurity.

Heaven stands firm

to boldly remind;

we are mighty

souls of vast prosperity.

 

Humbled, broken,

united world-wide,

the Powerful

can no longer deny

labors pain, outburst and cry.

 

No matter who

you are

No matter where you go

In life        

At some point in time

You're  going to need

more than checkbook,

credit card, and equity….

to Stand by your Side.

 

Heaven stands firm

to boldly remind;

We are mighty souls

of vast prosperity.

 

Behold, it is the end

to the Era of Greed

for Heaven does not sow

seeds of poverty.

    I dug the meaning, I dug the style, I dug the message, and just loved the ending. This is wonderful piece, the best I have seen in a while, and was a great pleasure to read. Now if we can just get some of those more stubborn CEOs to sit down and force them to read this over and over again for a couple of thousand hours or so we might make even more headroom.

    Nicely done. You have state your beliefs very well in this poem. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Throwing cash at a problem is just another way of ignoring it.

    Great job.
