Filosofía de la miseria



Decía mi abuelita,
vivir pobre no es carecer
de tener que comer,
no es aguantar
la gana de tener celular.

Decía mi abuelita,
eso era antes,
hoy con el consumismo,
al mes se renueva uno mismo
y se vive endeudado con optimismo.

Vivir pobre es vivir,
en constante letargo
de resentimiento y discriminación,
no en vano, vivir pobre
es soñar con resignación.
