Premium Member This is All I Know


               Been high, been low
                 poverty-stricken
                    and rolling in dough

               When all is said and done
                    this is all I know

                In the eyes of Heaven, do what’s right 
                    ~ sleep soundly at night

Premium Member No Fishing

A law has been established in an area, "No Fishing,"
but if you live in that area and are poverty stricken,
you will break that law to sustain yourself and your family.
No law can be established without consulting the environment of everybody.
Laws are meaningless if people are not provided their basic needs.

Premium Member Free of Fear

I am free of all fear, I have none,
however dark may be my final destination.
The only fear that I have, my only concern,
is for my loved ones, the ignorant and the poverty stricken.
Some things are far more important than my own life,
so if I am to be imprisoned for spreading awareness, that is how I shall die.

Premium Member Words Pay No Debts

Words fail me,
An inspiration 
I owe to you,
A bad debt ?

Obligations I know
Liable to render,
Have few words,
Did I trespass ?

Poverty stricken
Have no words,
Gift me cues,
Words pay no debts !
 

Do they ?
They don't ever,
So I won't either
Pay back your words !
