Devil's Ideas About Wealth
The wealth of a nation
its measures and indicators
manifests conspicuously
not among wealthy class
not among the powerful
not in the banks, treasuries
but in rugged and dry hands
of the ordinary peasants
the ones who sleep hungry
The poor are poor, die poor
because somewhere one
is praised, loved, endeared
through riddles and lyrics
