Poor people's riches
We don't need cars and swimming-pools,
what shall we do with monetary worries
of the stock exchange and too much taxes,
risky options and accursed roller-coaster shares,
anxieties of properties and constant keeping up
of meaningless facades and artificial nonsense,
when we get along so well with just our dreams,
our love of beauty and of being just together,
having cheap and frugal meals with friends,
enjoying fresh air and some sunshine,
listening to ancient proper music,
reading old imperishable sacred books
of inexhaustible immeasurable merits
with some poetry occasionally
to adorn our humble life with golden fringes.
I don't care about material matters
since you can't take anything of that with you
while all your true worth, grit and dreams
are more imperishable than your soul
as long as you just keep them flying.
Poetry by Christian Lanciai
