Summary

This quote suggests that poverty is not simply a lack of financial resources but also a mentality or perspective. The speaker distinguishes between being poor, which they imply is a mindset or way of thinking, and being broke, which is described as a temporary condition.

It's the heart that betrays us, makes us weep, makes us bury our friends when we should be marching ahead. It's the heart that sickens us at night and makes us hate who we are. It's the heart that sings old songs and brings memories of warm days.
