Best Poor Man Poems

I went to a poor man's house
There was an exquisite car in the driveway
I walked up to the grand entryway
Rang his doorbell
The chimes sounded like cathedral bells
He greeted me with a practiced smile
Welcomed me to sample his world
Together we walked across marble floors
Gazed out magnificent...

As snow flakes fall to cover the side walk my people get tired of the side talk
Work for me You won't be financially but at least you put a couple gifts under the tree 
At least you can get your car fixed while I...

We never thought she'd find the right man
Find a more fickle bride if you can..
Poor man hasn't a chance
She's in charge of romance
He stepped into the fire from the pan 

Written in haste for the
"Cousins Wedding" contest...

Human tastes vary and so are the desperate cravings to capture the best in human ambition,
A more desperate thirst for fame, riches and for power can be a low, vulgar bitter taste,
I admire the spirit of the man who sees richer recompense as a sign...

The poor man on the street
With threadbare dress and blistered feet 
'Tis his slogan, he howls,
"I feel hungry, my stomach growls."

The rich man sits to eat
With silken dress and stockinged feet
Tells after his plateful,
"I'm not hungry, my stomach's full."

The poor man sits and begs
For some...

When would the vegetables in my farmland grow?
Others have harvested theirs but mine is yet
To germinate after many month of impatient wait
Take the children away and share them among my brethren
I have no money to train them but I can impregnate women
As many times as...

If you had to live
the way I do, 
then you too would 
feel sad and blue. 
To have so little good 
and so much bad,

If you had to live my life, 
even for just one day, 
I'd understand...

Poor man on the metro
Nobody knows what he's going through
Poor man on the metro
He's dealing with the same *****as you
Poor man on the metro
All he's asking for is change
Poor man on the metro
So why do you look at him strange
Poor man on the metro
I put...

She tinkers change someone left on the table
waiting for brunch at the Bluebonnet Bistro,
a hole in the wall with thick on the windows.

Lost deep to thought, this rock ‘n roll liberal
in her mid-twenties and sage satin stole,
pockets a penny that weighs down the satchel

strapped to...

Today this poor man
Begs you once again,
For one more tragedy,
For the sake of his pen.

It has been an age
Since I have drunk of sorrow,
Stir tears into pain,
Make it twice as fierce.

This blank sheet of paper
Watches me silently,
A caravan of poems
Is lost in a desert of...

No one cares if a poor man is wise,
Though it's the reason that most are alive.
No one knows when a poor man dies
If his memorial does not survive....

The Poor Man

The Savior came a walking down a long and dusty road
when a poor man He saw walking alone  
He said to the man
“Follow Me My son, and I will show you the way to My home”.

The man said to him in complete...
