In the poorest of the poor I live,
In their miseries I do peeve;
With them without meals I sleep,
Their company in all modes I keep.

Great philosophy! But I love the unique way u express it with so many twists, some satire and pun...
I love the philosophy that I find in your poems. It is both enlightening and soulful in its presentation. Such things bring poetry to life. There is so much death in poetry. Your pen carries the breath of life with its written words. GW62
Good morning poet and here is a very true philisophical poem and sadly about much of human life. It's there and is seen in many situations, the human nature of greed verses need. Loyd
So much truth written in this poem. You use simple words, yet they have so much impact. Irene
such a beautiful poem so rich with so much meaning 'The rich ever ask me for more gold, But I have never been to their fold; All dainty dishes to them forbidden, At last they lead the life bed-ridden.' ++++++10 anjali
Wow the first sentence opens up the whole poem wonderfully.. the first sentence i feell all the time.. So true.. I love you're thoughts on this.. Great write Krista
Your poem reminded me of the words of christ.......... Camel can pass through eye of needle but no rich man can enter into heaven.........
I think perhaps god is to found more easily amongst those who have least great possessions tend to become the possessors.
Yes, I agree with Anjali, it reminds me too of Mother Teresa, such is society when the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, 10 Lynda xx
wow such a nice poem with so much of depth reminds me of Mother Theresa Amongst the poorest of the poor she lived and set an example to all of us ++++10 anjali
deep crafted poetic write..with great contemplation between greedy and humbleness..10
Written with much depth, and constructed with excellence.. Poverty vs Wealth has been one of man's biggest problems since time began.... Very good write.. Bonnie
This is a poem that cannot help but remind one of the great Mohattmas Ghandi, and the example he set for so many to follow. I am also reminded of what our greatest president, Abraham Lincoln once said as well, C. P., that 'God must have loved the poor people because he made so many of them.' In God's eyes, we all are equal no matter how poor or wealthy we may be. No man or woman is any less or any more in HIs eyes than the faith in their heart. This fine poem points that out very well. Carl.
A prayer from the heart and so well presented - - - poetic and masterly - - -thank you.......Fay
A very fine write indeed, C P. Material wealth or lack of it can never be used as a gage to indicate who has found favor with God. Unlike men, God is able to look into the heart. A wonderful poem my friend. Best wishes. Richard
great poem on god..god does'nt distiquish between rich and poor..itis between the truer and the other..a revealing poem
OMG! ! ........thats great God..................Hes very observant! ! ! !
I see much that can be read in this text. You have good command of your sentence-formation without being too 'intentional'. There's a sort of shadow-lining of meaning to almost every line in play. The poem realy floats on it's own accord because of the title - it seems to me. But as it stands, I would not limit it to rich and poor of an order that is exclusive. I do see your emphasis as a vessel of deep consciousness all the same.
