Spirit of Poverty

Copyright Β© Priya Florence Shah

πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

Fake smiles through gritted teeth, every word a lie
Slithering snakes trying to get in the gate
Deceit in their eyes, beneath the darkened sky

πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

Criminal minds, cold, calculating, cruel, entitled
Woefully ignorant, spiritually impoverished
Driven by greed, their hearts tightly bridled

πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€

Leading mobs across the gun line to their demise
Cursed all their bloodlines with poverty and lack
Bound by their actions, trapped in a web of lies
