Poverty now becomes his name!A Poem by Yolanda Cee
Circumstances derail his efforts
Almost at the peak of success. A small string just pulled Then all he worked for All these years crumbles before his eyes. Oh! Holy Mary mother of God Queen of the universe, Help this poor thriving young soul. He lived an honest life of pain Why did he have to end up like this? There is no going back now. Locked up in his own deteriorated life, All he can do is seek the divine. The divine that sometimes acts funny, It may act against the vulnerable for no reason. Suffering at the hands of a framed fraud. His battered suitcase waits for him To take him back home and face pain. A life of starvation and squalor awaits His arrival. Poverty now becomes his name. In contemplation, he makes silent lamentations. Prayers of vindication against daylight beasts That took away that little chance he had To be a director as he always wanted. Unfortunately poverty now becomes his name.
