THE MIRACLES OF POVERTY


THE MIRACLES OF POVERTY
 
Yet the most unappreciated industry 
But the most lucrative industry 
Forge and mint the legendary 
Earns him an ever lasting victory 
 
 
Time of poverty 
When he eats the same diet
Trains him to be loyal 
To a friend, or a spouse
To a parent, or a child
To a country, or a people 
 
 
Time of poverty 
When he puts on the same cloth
Trains him to be responsible 
Of his feelings, or desires
Of his actions, or words
For his parents, or family 
For his spouse, or children 
 
 
Time of poverty
When he sits alone
Trains him to fight alone
Do not ask for a gift or a loan
Not from the central bank 
But hustles at the river bang
 
 
Time of poverty 
When he receives less invitations
Trains him to be creative 
Creates his own programs
And sends invitations
 
 
So be innovative 
Don't be naive
Alway add but never subtract
Train and improve characters
And never stain any characters 
Train to gain more knowledge 
But don't expect that knowledge rains
 
 
Time of poverty 
When there is no helper
Trains him to be patience
Not to cure patients 
But to employ your religion's dictates
And patience is the foundation of success
