Poverties Face

There are all kinds of poverty and no sin in being poor yet, beauty in its truest form always will endure. Disparity has its price to pay when greed becomes the lure. How we handle lucre, it seems, tells others who we are. There’s poverty in China and capitalism too, yet, the desire to level the field brings other factors in view. They’ve seen the value in selling culture, history to world hungry for beauty which disdains disparity. The desire to care for the many not cater to the few, brings different kinds of order still, poverties there too! Nepal the Yin of planet Earth where inward voices grow has its own desperation and rebellions to forego. Individual beauty of spirit was strongest here they stepped inside, aside... when discord did appear. Egypt has it marvels of man and Gods galore but in the space of mosque light truest beauty found its lure. The face of child of mother the straight-backed prowess of men the coal black eyes of hunger the starving animals in pens. NO culture can climb the precipice to sucess, all are destined to fall as long as some have everything and most have nothing at all.

Smile ~ Well, first I believe no sin is being blessed; that is, to have "Mercy" wash it away &, those whom believe that they have much?, for the most part, truly, without "God," have nothing at all, except, a comfortable moment in time; a passing time &, there "Is" a reason for "Everything" thus, as "God" has said, blessed are the poor for, they shall inherit the earth....Smile, "Love," John!:) ~
