We Live In Penury

All the comforts that modern life bestows On the human race across the seven seas Despite advances in material acquisitions We still live in penury that is not material. Ample instances of powerful nations with Abundance of wealth and material riches And affluence kissing them in all exuberance Do still live in penury that is not material. The wealth that men accumulate in their life For living in comfort and ease without strife Do surely help in bolstering the exalted hype But still live in penury that is not material. All the progress achieved to make our life rich Have miserably failed the mankind to realize With vigorous efforts to reach the goal set We still live in penury that is not material. Those who understand the futility of riches’ Are the ones that lead truly a wealthy life The rest though found rolling in affluence Still live in penury that is not material.
