STUFFED
BRAINS
©
Farouk Asvat
Your brain is stuffed with banknotes
And your heart is filled with
concrete
Your vault is brimming with coins
And your chest is bulging with
trinkets
But there are notes
That bring food to the poor
And there are notes
That bring a smile to an orphan
And there are notes
That bring music to urchins
That you will never know
Because your money has the stench of
a ghoul
Your vanity the fragrance of
arrogance
Your brain the scent of disintegrating
cobwebs
And your soul the perfume of a corpse
