We & They Poem by Sathya Narayana

WE AND THEY
Are they fated
to languish in poverty?
I dont know!
May be by their vices,
may be by their misdeeds,
may be by their ignorance
they squandered
their little fortunes!

They wrought their fate...
I accept that!

But you are wise,
you are rich,
you are ever flourishing...
you know the right
from the wrong,
good from the bad!

When their vices,
their misdeeds,
their ignorance
helped us to outclass
those so called ill-fated
dont you think you owe
some thing to those
whose mistakes
helped you to grow? !

We can brighten their lives,
and lighten their burden
if we are ready to share
our wealth and wisdom!
