Poor Or Rich Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

In the realm of the spirit
There is nothing like material wealth
Love is the only wealth
Hope is the sacred resource
Faith is the sanctified vehicle
Poor or rich, do not despair
Tears are for those who neglect the spirit
And find total pleasure in the pot of materialism
The turmoil of life is not an excuse
Sickness and diseases are only lessons
To bring humility to the heart
Sometimes to puncture the veil of ego
And bring sorrow to our hearts
Poor or rich, there is no lesson bigger than this
Embrace your true self, Love unconditionally
Do not be blinded by the sweetness of this life
It is all an illusion, submerge yourself in the truth
And your path will be illuminated
Find comfort on the canvas of Silence
Aloneness is selflessness
It is the tabernacle of the spirit
Get to know yourself
The substance of being is the ultimate experience
Be content, life is a tree of hope
Swallow your pride, humility is for the wise
Poor or rich, do not despair
Love is kind
