A smoke protruding from within the tomb of warmth and security Smoke trailing past my nostrils Excretion of smoke and steam Combine to escape from me. How cruel and cold this Morning air — thought I. But still, the rebellious act Clings to the atmosphere Until all at once The trikling rays of sunlight Sprung Lightened and triumphed It strikes me Influential warmth once again is in action Surging through my Now supple pores To my comfort and delight. Harry Westerlund. Another group of poems by Annlock Kite of Te Kuiti Will Money Buy Happiness A small boy hungry And dirty Will money buy his food? Will money buy him happiness? An old senile man Trembles with pain He has cancer Will money bring him comfort? Will money buy him happiness? Young teenagers Suffering the effects Of home breakups Will money buy them drugs? Will money buy them happiness? A baby cries in the darkness Her parents are wealthy Who will protect her Will money buy her protection? Will money buy her happiness? A rich widow Lonely in her palace Addicted to power Will money buy her friends? Will money buy her happiness?

Look at yourself Ashamed and low Where do all the unwanted Babies go
