Our Poverty
By Mohammad Golji
Dangle your hands over our poverty
Though I warn never to wage dissonance
You war for this, what’s nothing honestly
Drink from dirty puddles, coincidence–
Now your hands are nasty, see your shirt stained
I won’t drink this water, now I'm thirsty
Your western remedies, they’ll leave me pained
Let me find my solace in poverty
So watch with me, as your greed dissipates
You're fighting over such a world lonely
Cash’ll become ash, mercy precipitates
Over your muddy eyes, see what’s phony;
Masks myriad, uncovered then you’ll see
What you fought for, only never to be.
