Who Are The Poor?
Mother, do the poor smell?
 Mother, how long do the poor survive without food before they die?
 Mother, do the poor carry scars and bruises on their feet from walking bare foot?
 Mother, are the poor unintelligent than the rest of the world since they cannot afford education?
 Mother, do the poor believe and have faith in God?
 
 
 My child, one can bathe as long as one wants
 But the heart will still stink if it is evil
 However
 The poor do not smell
 For their hearts are not evil 
 They are the fragrance of freshly blossomed roses
 My child, the poor never die
 Thus
 Good never dies
 The bodies of the poor become part of Mother Nature
 Yet 
 Their souls still float on the streets Begging for kindness
 My child, they carry souvenirs from the lands they have traveled over
 Their feet tell the journey they have traveled so far
 It is a dairy written with memories of pricked skin from thorns
 and remembrance of rocks poking the bare feet 
 My child, the poor enclose the greatest knowledge of all
 Love is the education all need
 Yet 
 Only the poor have to time to use it
 My child, the poor are the human form of God
 Woooooooo…
 Each breath they take whispers believe
 Thump, thump, thump
 Is the rhythm of their heart in which faith sparks
 God is testing the generosity of humans through the form of the poor
 It is sad that most have not passed
