Who Is The Pauper? Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay
Who Is The Pauper?
The pauper’s bread is his philosophy
The affluent’s philosophy is bread
Though the pauper hasn’t a bread too many
His dog is always well fed!
The joy of sharing he knows best
His bread he cuts into two
The pauper the vermin the nagging pest
At heart is the most well-to-do!
He knows the joy of togetherness
To divide from his scrap of bread
The pauper a slur on the human race
Sees his dog doesn’t remain unfed!
He knows he can’t do without this help
He is too alone on this ride
The pauper knows better than to live with self
Loves his dog on his side!
Who really is the pauper? Surely not the poor man who shares what little he has. But the wealthy man, who never has enough; how he must suffer with his constant longing and unawareness of how much he has! Excellent poem.
