Who is Truly Poor?

Who is truly poor?

The person with hardly any riches,

Or he who is dark inside,

And yearns like Macbeth for more.

 

Poverty is just a fleeting abstraction,

It’s our selfless nature,

That can turn our lone home,

Into a place devoid of unwanted mystification. 

 

Being literally charitable is what we must dream of,

It’s there in the heart, just a bit honest search is enough.

Your poem was quite difficult for me to understand but when I understood so i want to appreciate you that it is quite heart warming poem. There is a very moral.

These two lies are amazing. you described the real meaning of charity in few words. It is very beautifully written.
