POVERTY IS MANY THINGS.

February 5th, 2010

Emotional poverty is inability to give.

Spiritual bankruptcy is inability to love.

Educational destitution leads to polluted institutions,

a soulless death,

an empty life.

and a waste of all we can be.

If knowing this, I still choose not to see,

then poverty grows, nourished by me.
