THE RICHEST POOR MAN

Mr isaiah Ebhodaghe is from Nigeria, he is poet and author of Seven books; The fearless kingdom, the fortunate wedding, Where is the Child.

A poem to motivate those in authority

The richest poor man

The world is under your feet yet you labor for your daily bread,

every step you made are path to wealth,

from present discovery your excrete are crude in barrels.

Your spittles are photosynthese of ideas among creatives,

Your strength gives hope to the dying while your smile end

the tears of mourners.

Yet your hope like the dense forest where your children hide

their faces from the challenges of innovation.
