SOME SAY 'I'D RATHER BE DEAD THAN POOR '' <br /> <br />Some Say 'I'd rather be dead than poor' <br />Others, 'Poor than dead', <br />I am in the meantime working on and being worked on <br />for both- <br />The day will come <br />although it will be regrettably much longer than a day <br />when I shall have small pleasure in them- <br /> <br />Poorer and poorer <br />weaker and weaker <br />I grow older and older <br /> <br />How long I do not know <br />How much my meek efforts will delay it <br />if at all- <br />I do not know- <br /> <br />I do not know <br />But the time is coming<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-say-i-d-rather-be-dead-than-poor/
