The poverty of richness

Filed under: poetry, mphutlane wa bofelo — ABRAXAS @ 2:11 pm

The failure to comprehend

The invaluable value

Of things not containable

By both poverty and richness:

The expansiveness of a heart

Charged with undying love

The jubilee of a womb loaded with life

The unrestrained merry-making

Of villagers welcoming rain

The supple dances of ghetto kids

Low on cash but high on life
