Poverty is certainly an addiction, but I don't know if it is a gift. Since it makes your mind and your decisions have to work a certain way……once habituated, it is an addiction. Hard to break out of.

Poverty is a gift when it helps you to appreciate comfort & things when you do have them! It is the gift of gratitude but poverty that perpetuates and you can't get out of, can cause pain and suffering! Nice write!

'Poverty is a gift or poverty isn't a gift' can be a point of debate or a question of attitude. The poem brings into focus the age of materialism. Thanks for this thought provoking poem.

The son is right. Poverty is a gift. It opens the soul, it gives insight to many truths.

A dialogue between father and son, in which I think the father is right and certainly more wordly-wise than the son. I think that poverty can be a gift-but only up to a point.

It is our attitude to look at things. Even the middle class is a subjective term. Level of satisfaction and peace of mind are not static. they differ from person to person. Thanks for sharing.
