Pauper's Fallacy Poem by alexander opicho

The pauper’s fallacy is
More foolish than gambler’s fallacy
It is timorous and minion in wonkishness
It is a crofttering petty-peasant’s fallacy
It’s beautiful fallacy of charming fallacies and
All is nothing but wholesomely fallacious.

Pauper’s fallacy is full of blind appetite
Avariciously projecting for maudlin paradise
Where no dutiful effort is planted
Glorifying religion more than rebellion
Confusing depravement with discipline
Expecting sympathy from marauders
Embedding powerlessness, freedom a preserve
For life after death but death after life imminently poses.

Pauper’s fallacy is much ado about nothing
Praying for their glory to come only
As the rich and the mighty approach the precipice
Praying for heavenly reversal of solemnity banquets
For the tycoons to swop with peons
If only knowledge was redolent that
Fortune and means all come from gods.
Pauper’s fallacy is the blame for pauper’s muse
gods and goddess all in full gear of pauperistic wisdom
In abrogation and negationary diversities;
Killing patience as a rural virtue
Killing discipline as a ghetto virtue
Killing tolerance as a slum virtue
Killing knowledge as a hamlet virtue
Promoting all arrogationary vices;
Petty Crimes without manyatta punishment
School Truancy without manyatta shame
Indolent Laziness without manyatta regret
Sexual Immorality without manyatta guilty
Perpetrating Falsehood without manyatta contrite
Committing mis-Love without mis-passion
Expediting Passion without moral duty
Siring precarious children without actuarial vision,
Oh! No, I have to depauperize my thoughts;
Sobriety in thoughts is equal to quality in life.
