The dragon's lair

A personal collection of verse

難貧 金炳淵
地上有仙仙見富
人間無罪罪有貧
莫道貧富別有種
貧者還富富還貧

Poverty

Kim Sat Gat


The rich are immortals on earth;
The poor, even born without sin,
Tend to sin because of being poor.

Don't say
That being poor or rich is ordained;
The poor would return to the rich and
The rich to the poor
