Rich In Our Own World
We are rich in our own world
and far richer than you think,
we are rich love and caring
from our family and friends.
We are rich in what we give
our wisdom and our laughter
that we share with everyone.
We are rich for all sorts of reasons
and none of them includes money.
If you think, you are poor,
forget it and think again.
Think of all the things you have
and you will be surprised to find
you are far richer than you think.
You are rich in your own world
with everything you have
and they are far richer than
anything money can bring.

A man’s tendency
Man, you might be richer with wealth
But I am neither poorer,
With my bowl content with contents.
Man, you might be stronger with power
But I am neither weaker,
With my sac’s wants empty.
Why must I fall behind you?
Woman, you might be poorer in looks
I am not richer either
With my kit of virtues torn.
Woman, you are weaker in virtues
I am not richer either
With my bag of conscience worn.
That is why I fall behind you.

Sonnet: The Rich and the Poor
The rich become richer and the poor poorer;
This is the way in which this world goes on!
Men may become suddenly rich, not born;
A rich man turns suddenly a beggar.
The few pennies are snatched off from the poor;
The brunt of taxes are but borne by them;
They can’t make both ends meet by any sum;
The rich hoodwink the taxman- their brother!
Will the world treat people alike ever?
All men are born unequally today;
Yet, if it happens, ’twill be a wonder;
No matter what you do, things happen this way.
The rich become richer not by real work;
The poor become poorer though they hardwork!

For all the gold and silver stolen and shipped to Spain did not make the Spanish people richer. It gave their kings an edge in the balance of power for a time, a chance to hire more mercenary soldiers for their wars. They ended up losing those wars anyway, and all that was left was a deadly inflation, a starving population, the rich richer, the poor poorer, and a ruined peasant class.

I'm In Love
I'm in love and,
All i want is you;
Oh, i am in love!
And, all that i want is in you.
How do i live without you?
Roses are red but, violets are blue;
How do i live when the bed you sleep on is blue?
The love that i have for you is richer than honey.
I'm in love and,
This is not an ordinary love;
The love that i have for you is richer than money.
Yes, you can't even count things that aren't there;
Only the wise know the meaning of things.
Honey is sweet but, you are sweeter than honey;
Money is okay but, you are better than money;
Oh my Darling!
I will swim the seas to meet you.
How do i live without you when,
The bed i sleep on is white?
A righteous person knows the rights of everyone.
You are sweet and beautiful my love,
You are like the blue sea with a white dove of love;
I belong to my lover and she desires me,
How can i live without her?
I'm in love and all i want is in you.
Your blue bed with a white dove of love,
Come and travel with me;
You are my soul and heart's inspiration.
I can't live without you,
I can't make it without you,
You are nicer than the diamonds and pearls;
You are all that i want.
Blessed is me when we walk hand in hand,
Love wisdom and she will make you great;
You've got what i need.
I'm in love and, all i want is you;
Wisdom is better than siver and gold but,
True love crowns it all.
Roses are red and violets are blue,
So do write your love on my heart;
I'm in love and, all i need is in you.

A Democratic Leader's Second Term in Office
When people give some leaders, second term,
It shows that they repose a lot of faith,
And strongly hope their dreams in life come true,
And basic amenities are given.
The country must be back in progress' path!
The leader carries heavy yoke on him;
The people's expectations are quite high;
Things must be done with speed to people's taste!
The massive mandate's sign of urgency!
There is no time to waste or to delay;
The people's sufferings must cease too soon;
Relief must be the need of hour and day!
The leader realizes his new job,
And greater responsibility;
Election promises must be sure kept;
The voter's aches of heart and home must heal!
Being a leader great is not a joke;
Remaining in authority is tough;
You got to satisfy the common man,
And richer class must grow richer with time!
The act of balancing is rather tough;
The road to regain progress is quite rough;
The past mistakes and blunders are enough;
Democracy must make all voters laugh!
A second time is tougher than the first;
The people's patience stands on brink of hope;
The nation's heart must beat in rhythm soon;
Economy must be fast vitalized!
Congrats to leaders who get second terms;
It is a test of their prowess and skills;
The power of the gab will not help now;
All want good things to happen very fast!

Rich Beyond Compare
Everyone has their dreams,
always hoping one day
those dreams will come true
and I am no exception.
My dream was to become rich and famous
and some of my dream has come true.
I am rich beyond compare,
but not in money, oh no.
Richer than that by far.
I am rich with friends
that spread around the world
that I have adopted them into my family.
I guess I’m almost famous
as my work is read around the world.
Though fame doesn’t bother me anymore,
it is the richness of my friendships
I hold close to my heart.
No amount of money can make me richer
than what I am now,
rich with caring friends.

Politicians Are Politrikians
Politicians are politrikians
More than any magician
Black hearted and sweet
Tongued
Thick skinned and Greedy
Exploit the poor and needy
So quickly
They change their color
Even chameleons feel
Smaller
Tremendous love for
Chair and power
Corrupt to the core
Smile on the face
Deceiving people their
Strength
Increasing expectation
Of poor voters
Expressing false love
For the nation their art
They do not spare any body
Become richer and richer
Day by day
Do not trust what they say
Escape the trap of
Sweet words they lay
Great actors in real life
Can kill anybody without
A knife

The girl from Cebu City
I know a girl from Cebu City
I have never met her but I know of her
through her lover… a much older man
who lives in my city.
She is much younger
very beautiful… a bit like a child
He has arranged for her to come for an
extended visit
He is worried that people might think
he has bought and paid for her, lest
her feelings be hurt
I say she is too young to understand…
He says he will throw money at the problem
and take her here and there, spoil her,
buy her things…
only to take her mind off things, of course…
I think it is ironic that this girl will go back
to Cebu City with more possessions
thinking herself richer for the experience –
not having been bought and paid for, of course…
and that this man from my city will be
all the poorer for his judgment….
for buying the paper queen
a heart of stone.

Be real with me
Be real with me
Who will be real with me
She is a false pretender
Says she can't remember
The things we did together
Such a big lire
She can't be real with me
Be real with me
My life is more than my age
So you cant put me in a cage
Being stronger and richer
Do not means i am smaller
Cherish love than power
For love is
Superior and greater
Although i am poor
But you can
Help me live better
Do not make me inferior
Be real with me
For that is forever

Who is richer? The man who is seen, but cannot see? Or the man who is not being seen, but can see?
The Messenger Rose
If you have seen a richer glow,
Pray, tell me where your roses blow!
Look! coral-leaved! and -- mark these spots
Red staining red in crimson clots,
Like a sweet lip bitten through
In a pique. There, where that hue
Is spilt in drops, some fairy thing
Hath gashed the azure of its wing,
Or thence, perhaps, this very morn,
Plucked the splinters of a thorn.
Rose! I make thy bliss my care!
In my lady's dusky hair
Thou shalt burn this coming night,
With even a richer crimson light.
To requite me thou shalt tell --
What I might not say as well --
How I love her; how, in brief,
On a certain crimson leaf
In my bosom, is a debt
Writ in deeper crimson yet.
If she wonder what it be --
But she'll guess it, I foresee --
Tell her that I date it, pray,
From the first sweet night in May.

The richer you are, the more troubles you have.
The Widow
Grief hath pacified her face;
Even hope might share so still a place;
Yet, on the silence of her heart,
Haply, if a strange footfall start,
Or a chance word of ecstasy
Cry through dim cloistered memory,
Into her eyes her soul will steal
To gaze into the irrevocable --
As if death had not power to keep
One who has loved her long asleep.
Now all things lovely she looks on
Seem lovely in oblivion;
And all things mute what shall not be
Richer than any melody.
Her narrow hands, like birds that make
A nest for some old instinct's sake,
Have hollowed a refuge for her face --
A narrow and a quiet place --
Where, far from the world's light, she may
See clearer what is passed away.
And only little children know
Through what dark gates her smile may go.

Well I worked for a week and I got no pay.

But Ive got my love to keep me fine[? ].

Well since my babys been away,

Well things got worse from day to day.
