I feel for next-house Nora
Getting poorer and poorer:
A plant facing stem borer
While she seems a goal scorer
Her idle hours rarer
State of things not fairer...
Nora's younger: Victoria
Is doing well in Pretoria
And her cousin Eugenia
Sure to become engineer ;
In South Africa clever
And there could live forever
No causeless xenophobia
When with host shares her beer...
I feel for striving Nora
Refused loan by rich Dora
Who drives the cleanest Bora
And exudes sparkling aura.
Sorry we say to Nora
Sleeping lightly; no snorer.
What is short cuts off
a minute piece from itself
to survive each day.
The poorer the poem
The poorer the need
The poor for your calling
and poor for the deed
The poor for your efforts
The poor for your kind
The poor for the others
you poor with your mind

They don’t care
If I can
Get out
Or not
I’m poor
But I’m
Not any
More
Now I’m
Jail rich
The poorer we are the bigger
our gain into Heaven.
Who said the rich can't get into heaven?
For each one they lift up is a step closer
to God.
For He knows the Heart of all.
There are those who just don't give for
Tax Deductions.
There are those who give not to gain.
There are those who trully believe their
well-being was meant to blanket the poor.
There are reasons for rich and poor alike.
Not just for possessions and power.
But the sharing of ones time, energy, resources
and life.
Who says the rich can't get into heaven? Think again.
And, ponder it well.
Poorer darker and joyless this world would be without the tenderness of woman's love!

Happy Women's Day to all my lady friends!
And
wealth
is nought but
a doorway opened
by the few; for some it
leads to life and happy ever
afters, for most it paves the path
to sorrow, regret and acceptance that
their lives cannot be truly measured by the
number of zeroes in ones account, but by the pluses
