My Poverty & Greed
Was poverty an essential ingredient
Of our sympathetic foundation?
Like blood-pie buried
Under rubble heap?
Like an orphan child
Covered in dust and smoke
Of our cannon bullets?
We named ourselves humans;
An image of kindness.
A streamline of humanity
That defines us as,
love... compassion,
Honor! & Dignity.
But what Really defines our
Humanity?
I mean,
Have you seen that fat-belly?
The fat-belly that swallowed
Our livelihood, our hunger,
And e-v-e-r y drip-
Of our blood.
Look at the homeless in February
On New York streets;
Trembling empathy as our foot steps.
Look at this little girl;
Gathered the pieces of her
Younger brother, coming of age,
Of Blood, of Tears! Of Fears!
Of Mass-ive... mess...
The crows of darkness and greed
Have conquered the internal cities.
Stained the soil with blood,
And replaced our peace with
TEARS... SCREAMS... CHAOS!
and poverty...
But what Really defines
Us, humans?
(Perhaps I should put your name
To the test, for iii your reflection!
Step forward--
Kneel! before the shrine of truth;
State your glorious victories)
...
I once saw a single mother,
Knocking on the doors
Of mercy-ness...
Regretting her desires,
Cursing her stupidity.
Not to trust
A man-being
...Again.
Sights...
And saw a lover-
A man with a broken heart
Shattered into pieces,
Melted into teardrops.
Stabbed by his own passion.
I saw...
And I’ve seen those high-heels
And fancy suits
On Hollywood walk of fame;
Both strive for the color...
Green.
And I watched...
A singer sang a song,
A player played along,
A drug dealer rolling bullets,
And a pimp wearing a golden watch
On his fists, ticking...
Counting.
On.
Dignity!
Was all this guilt and greed,
Or is it poverty in humanity?
Drink it off,
When wolves howl
At your self-pity,
Or kill a giraffe // a Lion! may it be,
And take a selfie upon your bravery.
Celebrate your victory!
And that tree though...
Won’t make you richer,
-Immortal?-
For when the earthly-rage
Fulfills its capacity,
You will harvest...
...but your greed.
