Being poor takes time
Years before you were born
Decades after
Being poor is hereditary
Dad ignores your call all day
He knows you are calling for your school fees
Then, being poor becomes analytical
You keep brainstorming in church
Is it a good idea if I pay this offering
Being poor can be romantic
You share a plate of rice with your girl on a date
You dare not order for two
Being poor is a war
An endless battle between your stomach and your pride
Stomach always win
Being poor is observant
You stare at the green Nike footwear in the store everyday
With all lust and faintest of hope
Being poor is emotional
You get mad at complete strangers for not giving you a free ride under the scorching sun
Being poor demand self control
You fight the urge to buy new shoes
Who want to walk miles to work
Till next paycheck?
Being poor is knowing how much everything cost
Being poor is no child's play
