Are You Really Poor?
You think you’ve got nothing,
But you’ve always got something
When you live in a country like this.
But when you’ve had nothing
And then you get something
You suddenly have something to miss.
Now you know you have something,
So don’t say you have nothing
While you live in a country like this.
Because there’s people who’ve got nothing,
And when we do give them something
We’ve given them something to miss.
Poetry is what is lost in translation.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
