Rich or poor
High or low
Pauper or king
Famous or unknown
Is there anyone
Free of sorrow’s sting?
People of the world
Stand in assertion
That poverty bites
While the wealthy
While away their lives
In flying joy kites!
True though it appears
To the corporal eyes
In the world around
Pains that affluence
Brings to the carriers
In human lives abound!
So, the holy sage wise
Spells in words divine
For all hearts to hear
Lord, give just enough
To feed me and my kin
And the beggar near!
