Chamber of Poor Men

Caucus in the chamber of poor men Twisted by powers of failure And tortured by believe is sinful dreams With their fate being decided by charities Hence, they have no reason to smile If they do, is fraudulent smile For smile symbolize joy Smile endorses satisfaction Smile injects happiness in the vicinity Smile pictures having, with ability to get more In their traumatic scene Poor men have none Poor men have no reason to smile Poor men fall outside realm of satisfaction Bereft of hope as they are, What can they say in their chamber? What kind of music will they listen to? Which dreams will they display? For even their names do not appear in the scroll So, their chamber is chamber of tears Their chamber is chamber of hopelessness Their chamber is for the powerless and voiceless; Hence, I whisper in my prayer For the barriers to evaporate That the poor find way to climb the ladder Prayer for them to pitch out of the dying jungle For them to triumph like the weather, That tomorrow they rise and shine even in the dark Roll up with human dignity And whistle in the chamber of happy people I pray for the world to line up for perfection
