is for the unforunate?

The few whose hands
are golden clad?

Why string yourself up
eighteen hours a day
to rid yourself of the common?

When walks through
wispy wind and wild grass
await?

When the smile of a child-
Nonjudgmental and kind,
burst forth
for you?

When piles of books
line your doors?

When the sun rises
and the sun sets-
with the moon always at play?

When you can master music
through the mind
of a mentor?

When life itself
is here to guide you
and to move you forward
perpetually to peace?

Understand, My friend,
that mere coin
forever falters.
Mere paper will not listen.

Unlock yourself
from an industrious point in thought.
And you will find life
with the simplest of resources. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 158 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Smigit [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Why not try?

Nice piece of writing; a great thought indeed.

Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
