paupers aren’t afraid to beg, that is their last thread of hope

not ashamed to hit their knees and grovel in the dirt

when there’s no apparent answer to meet calamity the best posture one could take is to be a pauper just like me

when time and circumstance have stripped away the last vestige of conceit then i am ready to humble myself and get the help i seek

it matters not how long i trod this road to the ”holy grail” or how much knowledge and wisdom that perchance i may gain from seeking this plateau

i will always be a pauper compared to the God i love
