PROBLEMS OF LOW WAGES AND POVERTY
TO REPLACE POVERTY BY PROSPERITY
Poverty is really very cruel
Body wants to live fuel
To work we may be loyal
But, wealth will give only denial
Very low will be our income
Nowhere, we will be welcome
Depression will be the outcome
Really sad we will become
In case we are unmarried
May be low our need
If married-life we lead
For money we will plead
Our progress will be very slow
The next step we may not know
Because there is no money flow
In happiness, our life may not glow
Hard-work, education and multiple employments
May ultimately produce great disappointments
Too great may be our social commitments
Still zero may be our financial improvements
Socrates was standing in the market place
Staring with a really surprised face
For hours he did not make a single purchase
The reason for this his friend wanted to trace
Promptly came from Socrates the reply
“So many things in the market lie
Their usefulness I want not to try
For their acquisition I will never cry”
“I feel they are all to me unnecessary
I can live without them with no worry
Their absence makes me feel not sorry
Without their support life I can easily carry”
Though all cannot think like Socrates
We can to some extent follow his practice
His theory will excellently medicate to ease
Will all follow him please for perfect peace?
Even God may not offer solution
But hard-work can create revolution
In hard-work lies the salvation
It will end each and every privation
Improve through further education
Bring in ignorance complete truncation
Do the best to rise to the occasion
Surely you can find out wealth’s location
Try hard without any frustration
Hard-work beyond moderation
Using efforts lay a strong foundation
Surely, shall occur money’s inundation
God and hard-work are twins
Via them if your journey begins
The best of wealth, life spins
Peaceful prosperity, life wins
Poverty is only temporary
Your life, allow it not to bury
To master monetary theory
You must not at all feel weary
Make a thorough plan
Pessimism, please ban
Be an optimistic man
Think that you really can
If ignorance you remove
And make a wise move
You can surely improve
This truth I can firmly prove
Of course will come there setbacks
Perfection in this World, everything lacks
The merit of hard-work always backs
Fear and worry are the worst drawbacks
Go ahead by like the land bearing
Suddenly God will be caring
Your troubles He will be curing
With you, riches, wealth will be sharing
Please be in your goal very clear
And chase your dreams with cheer
Soon success will to hug come near
Never lose hope and trust my dear
Pursue and try to attain this lovely money
You are really holding the treasure-key
Life can be made sunny and funny
Never before fate be tiny or puny
Be like the bees saving honey
To discourage you, may come many
Let not daily chores give monotony
Develop with God perfect harmony
Once again you I sincerely beg
Further and further continue to dig
Work hard and ever think big
Using enthusiasm, your brain, you egg
In case you feel not confident
Chant a prayer by being prudent
Prayer will make on problems a dent
God will rescue if you are adamant
I strongly recommend only hoping
By this, results, you will be reaping
Stop too much sleeping cum weeping
Success is sure if you are wisely leaping
Believe in fate, but do not stop working
Fate makes you lose, if work you are shirking
To become in your profession a real king
Something constructive you must be seeking.
