THE RICH MAN AND THE POOR MAN (declamation)


The Rich Man and the Poor Man

“Food and money I give to you,Why do you shout so mercilessly When I give you your part?”queried the rich man.

The poor man replied:
“Your question you cannot answer For from pain and agony you are free, But I have suffered and borne The situation that I don’t like to be in.”

“That I couldn’t understand Because life for me is easy; I take this and take that, And life is just what I want it to be.” consented the rich man.

“Comfort your mind, rich man,with realities of death. Your wealth I do not envy For you cannot buy eternity with money.If to live happily is to live in hypocrisy, Then I prefer to be silly so I would be holy. Life you love so much you will lose And only then will you understand What agony is,” the poor man shouted.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! You say so For you desire this place of mine. Indulgence you have clouded with reason But I understand because of your situation.” boastfully the rich man said.

Outraged the poor man answered:“How pitiful the person blinded with pleasure; No, you don’t care of our journey That you have created through your greediness. Come now, man of weak soul! Your days are numbered for you to face The Man of Love. You may not cry now but later you will When the chilling reality of the last judgment Comes across your way; Yes, then you will pity, but not for me. Not for anybody else. But for yourself only! Yes, eat, drink, and be merry.

For tomorrow you shall die!

FAKE (declamation piece)

FAKE I got this smile, I skip and I play like a kid. I'm happy. People think i'm optimistic, talented and smart. I am religious. I have many friends. Do I look like that? Do I? I hope you're convinced by this synthetic, this fake smile of mine. Most people envy how perfect my life is. How I don't have problems and how I seemed to be fine with everything. But am I? I always smile and agree to everything request. To be fine with everything my so called friends wanted. Do they know that all they're seeing is fake? A mask of fake happiness and glee. That the only reason is, I cannot say no. have they thought of my feelings? are they even my friends? That every time I see them, I have this smile that no one ever dared to disbelieve. This sense of optimism everyone envies? It's all superficial. In fact, all I think of is sadness, despair, hate, and often I just can't go on anymore. Does anyone know that? Once I told my mom to cut the afternoo...
