I Got Nothing Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

I GOT NOTHING
Melvin Banggollay

I got nothing to be proud off
like a car glittering like star
I got only an old old so old car
with engine humming like doves
like a music deep in my heart
every time it starts to move fast
as it reminds me of the past
when my Dad used to ride
as I drove with all my pride.

I got no house like a mansion
towering with enchanting passion
I just got only an old small home
I have witnessed tender passion
of a loving father and mother
that build me to be a good brother
to my 2 brothers and 4 sisters.

I got no wisdom one can count on
For I am not an intelligent one
I got only a mind that can fly
reaching far even behind the sky
In my desire to behold the passion
Of loving God with all conviction.

I got nothing like wealth or money
That can build my every fantasy
I got only a heart that loves fast
A hand willing to share a mercy
to those who need my sympathy
like my fellow poor and needy.
