Your Choice!

Your Choice!

We were never given a
choice to be born rich or poor
We were never given a chance 
to choose the family 
we were born into

Some have no idea of 
what an easy life looks life
Some have never need 
to suffer not for anything
Most especially for
things money can buy

Who do we blame?
If we were given a choice, 
nobody would choose 
to be born to suffer
We would all clamor to 
have rich parents 

and who knows?
May be the poor would
be left childless
As it is, the last
I check the poor seems
To have more kids

 It's not your effort that made it
 possible for you to have rich parents
Stop looking down on others 
who are not so privilege
It's not their doing

Don't be jealous 
or envious of those born rich
strive to make it in life
You might have been born poor
But can change it
You got a choice not to die poor!

I don't see having much money as being rich. One can have material wealth and still be poor and one can lack material wealth and be rich. True riches is not measured by the size of our wallets.
​​​​​​There are people here on Cosmo that if I have my way, I'd travel all the way to their countries just to see them. You are one of them. Thanks for being very encouraging and supportive.

My Dear Sweet Rose,

I choose to seek my riches
Not wallow in the mire
I won't rue about my poverty
Under me I'll light a fire

To ignite the passion in my heart
And defeat adversity
I can circumvent all self reproach
By believing in this great me

Hugs, Peace and Love,
Larry xxx

Hi Rose ?
this is really thought provoking
you can't chose your background, but you can choose how to live your life. Money doesn't buy you happiness but fullfiment of life brings much joy, Bitterness and poverty can breed resentment, it's a chain that needs to be broken

Rose Sho, I really like how you touch base with inherited wealth and often the judgement that comes with it. Then you completely flip the table to the topic of inherited misfortune. There are two sides to every story, but rarely squeezed into a single poem so wonderfully. This is a poem of inspiration and it addresses the problems of the nation. 

Well done,
             Poetess
