My Humble Abode Poem by Sandra Martyres
My Humble Abode
Money, money, money
In a rich man’s world
Honey, honey, honey
I don’t belong there
You have to understand
I won’t do anything underhanded
Even if it means losing you
To one of the spoilt and rich few
True it will break my heart
And perhaps I will never make a new start
But I have my principles and taboos
And you need to respect them too
I prefer having less but staying peaceful
Rather than being rich and feeling miserable
If you think you can share my views
I will be more than willing to welcome you
To share my humble abode
Located on the next parallel road
I'm there with you already to thank you for sharing...kindly read my money poems at leisure....thank you
Wonderful heartfelt write Sandra...less is definatly more....Fi 10+++
Those 'principles and taboos' you mentioned there are good to preserve inside...they keep your mind always a peaceful abode...good poem...thanks...10
a good song (echoing Abba) and brought in so close to contemporary events...
This is a sentiment I can appreciate, Sandra. Nice expression of it! One suggestion. These days, it's okay to rhyme 'understand' with 'underhanded'. I would suggest changing 'underhand' to 'underhanded', which would be more syntactically correct, and still be a modern rhyme.
nor i belong to that class, Sandra. I am rich in friends through and through, and the love of my family.I am poor, and prefer it that way, because i have peace inside. A strong message you have here, and definitely an eye opener. With real friends and the love of my family, my day is well taken cared of. Thanks a lot for this great sharing
a very vital subject sandra....staying honest for what...more then doing it as a principle...it keeps your conscience clear
