Why feel so poor and strange?
Dare to count on change
More comes to greet you
Shape fondly grand dues
Ignorance seeds dark
Watch poverty spark
Knowing not much here
Not enough of cheer
Fear clusters more fear
Feel lack squeeze more tears
Do you feel this mood?
Leeching of all good
Sad story in slack
Gain ample more lack
Mad xenophobia
Grips peniaphobia
Why not good enough?
Yes you deserve stuff
See your wealth increase
Peace of mind brings ease
