Poverty is a curse A plague to be avoided Work smart, lest you be poor You too can cross the line That very thin line That separates the poor and the rich Just take steps of faith And be intentional Poverty robs you of your ego Makes you less of a human But are people really poor I guess not, just lazy I think If you can get your hand ***** You will never lack what to eat Run from poverty, faster than Usain Bolt Do nothing and poverty looms I just hate the coffee called poverty How can I rent my wife to tourists? Who does this for Pete's sake This must be a spell Is it a marriage with benefits? Please help me ask these East Africans How do you rent your wife to tourists? That women have local and foreign husband! Do we need to be re-colonised? Again I say "Tufiakwa" I don't care your tribe or race Poverty is a universal plague And winning starts with the right attitude If truly you can think enough That which you have, is just enough Together, let's kick out poverty It begins with you...
