I May Die Today by Joshmon(m): 1:59pm On Nov 01, 2015 |
"I MAY DIE TODAY" BY MM-WHILZ. I may die today I won't be sad to die without money I would hate myself for dying, Before knowing, all i wanted to know If you ask me, the question of knowledge and money, If you don't make money or much money, I would say:get knowledge,beg for food and go to bed You would be comfortable,happy and know the next right step It is not money that makes the rich,rich It is the knowledge of knowing how to get the money and make it stable When the idea is rich,the pocket must be filled Money is one of the characteristics of the rich Maybe the coating for the body That's why, that's what we see the most The wax burns continuously Because the fire, on the rope, in the candle, keeps the fire burning The poor man has money too Just the right amount that the rich man had It is not lack of money that makes the poor, poor The ideas, in the head of a poor man, makes him poor The ideology of poverty is faulty, So the poor remain in poverty Only few,hear the whisper and escape It is not money that a poor man needs It is knowledge For even though he gets millions they may flow with the wind Before night fall If only he knows, he would buy a pencil and a paper,read a book and observe the world If only you know, You would give him your ideas and save your dollars For it is not money that the poor man needs I may die today I would only beg for time to know more You see, i do not have this money, The little i know keeps me smiling I look into the rich mans mind and come out Easily i do this,because of this very little i know I keep smiling like grand pa watched us play tricks on him I was four she was six years Grand pa couldn't stop laughing and smiling all day. The peace in my mind is endless I know just where to follow before the money comes Am walking shoulder high, with empty pockets I may die today Empty pocket, is the last worry, on my mind I want to know more I want to keep smiling Smilling for the little i know, that makes me understand more Imagine the time we spend chasing money Imagine if we did that for knowledge Imagine how many problems would be solved Like the joy of finishing a puzzle Imagine how many people would be smiling Like an oracle knowing a problem Imagine how many people would be smiling Ignorance is bliss true knowledge is heaven I may die today Do not cry for me. Read this piece and live like this So, i can keep smiling in my grave I may die today Cc: Mods,lalasticlala,Ishilove and co Show some love and help move to FP 4 Likes 1 Share |

OP, you are highly on point! We really need knowledge and not money. I wish this poem is featured under job section so we could all learn together. Anyway, I was here and will always be here to get knowledge and feel like an Oracle too 1 Like |
