Poetry from Maftuna Rustamova

Teen Central Asian girl with long dark hair, brown eyes, and a gray tee shirt with a red collar. Photo has her tilted to the right and she's got a blue and gray design behind her.

A child of an ordinary person has the most knowledge, but a child of a rich man knows nothing.

Why are you always a rich man’s son?

Why do you say that if a man with money is his father.

Did you see, my friends, this story of mine will still be answered in the Day of Judgement.

One thought on “Poetry from Maftuna Rustamova

  1. There’s so much wisdom in the statement “a child of a rich man knows nothing.” The child of the rich man is told that the rich are more worthy than the poor, that the rich are entitled to happiness, and that money solves all problems. There is no need to learn self-reliance, humility, or the courage to rebound from failure. No need to learn empathy, to fight for beliefs, or to compromise. The image of success is everything, because behind the image is a void.
