Real Poverty Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Real poverty is not the lack of material possessions
Real poverty is not the absence of earthly wealth
Real poverty is not being homeless
Real poverty is separation from God Almighty
Real poverty is the absence of the Holy Spirit in one's life
Real poverty is life without Jesus Christ.

Many billionaires claim to be rich but in essence they are poor
They have sleepless nights
They are haunted by the very wealth they boast about
They are haunted by the innocent blood they have shed in their quest for riches
They are not happy
No, joy eludes them
They are poverty stricken spiritually
