What do you think this poem is about?

The Poor

I am poor because
i have head but i don't
know how to think with it

I am poor because
i have eyes but i don't
know how to see with it

I am poor because
i have hands but i don't
know how to use them.

I am poor because
i have legs but i don't
want to walk with them

I am poor because
i am bigger than my dreams
and brighter than my visions.
