We Are Poor Poem by Gajanan Mishra

We are poor,
But not hungry.
We want rice to eat,
We want water to drink,
But we are not hungry.
We want money
To purchase bare necessities,
But we are not hungry.
The sky, the earth,
The air, the light,
All are here
For our refreshment.
We are committed to
Do something for them.
We are here to live,
We want life.
But we want, not
Free food, but
We want to do work
For good.
We are poor
But we are truth to
Our words.
We are poor
But we are sincere
And honest.
See us, and leave us
At our own disposal.
Show not your kindness
By offering free food
By offering free house,
And who are you to give us
Everything in cheap and
Also in free.
We are poor
But we are not beggars.
We are poor
But we are our own masters.
