Poverty of the Soul

Wealth doesn’t make us rich
Richness of the spirit and soul needed
Needs and wants vying with each other
Others dreaming of what we have
Have and have-not in a clear dichotomy
Dichotomy dividing the society
Society in disarray
Disarray of the soul
Souls deprived of true values
Values that give purpose to lives
Lives lived empty in a moral vacuum
Vacuum that expands to envelope our beings
Our beings empty like deflated balloons
Wealth and riches are useless if we have poverty of spirit.
