The morning alights
Without a spiritual consensus
Poverty may question my means
But success rarely compromises.
I do what I must
To live as I please.
Another amniotic soak in the till
I don’t need to feel
If the marrow spilled
Comes from another man’s bones
I do what I must
To live as I please.
I have a family
Whose infrequent names fall
So oft from my calender
That I dare not meet their accusations.
I do what I must
To live as I please.
My Sisyphean days stoop
Behind a veil of secrecy
Full pockets leave no space
For the warming of hands
I do what I must
To evade the poverty inside.

A very emotion and thought provoking response..!
Thanks Andy =)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts 🙂
an eye opener!
may all feel safe with
mother earth’s embrace
not living,
nor behaving
as victims.
Lovely statement!
I love the sarcastic tone.
The lust for money shouldn’t be overpowering. An straight eye opener if the greedy ones open their eyes to look at it and read. Great Job, nonetheless.
Thank you Neeraj! I think we should all stop and evaluate our priorities sometimes
I emailed you btw

Thanks Brian! I haven’t been on the full pockets side before
It is a matter of doing what must be done, to stave off poverty basically. Lovely poem Yves.
