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

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
