TREASURE

I thought many times
that I do not write enough
because poetry
does not pay bills.
Ironically, I even
wrote a poem
to say this.

But just a few days
ago
I realized this is just
another fallacy
of my mind,
incubated there by a
society
that does not want you to be
who you are
but
something else
they can
use.

So, hell to that!
I'll write poetry
and die as poor as I am
but with a smile
on my face,
which is the ultimate
(and unique)
richness
we'll take to the other
side.
