Poverty by Nobody: 8:16pm On Jan 04, 2015
POVERTY

A word that sends fear into the heart of young ones.
A word that you can't explain except you have been there once.
A word that makes u wonder if truly we all were created equally!
Or maybe some are more equal than the others.

POVERTY!!!.
Wearing one clothes in two weeks doesn't make u poor!
Buh wearing one rag for months will explain better.

Eating the leftover food from the table of your neighbor won't really give you a clear view.
starvation will take u on a trip around the poor.

you said you're poor yet you drink 'clean water' and still complain,
what will you call the man who begs just 2 take a sip from the gutter?

you sleep on a bedbug infected bed and yet u claim 2 b poor!
Try sleeping on the ground using ur hairs as pillow n ur skin placed on d floor!

I too can't really explain the word as it is,
i can't even give you the real picture of how it seems,
because i haven't been in that critical scene.
Or can a RICH man give d real definition of POVERTY?
i don't think so!

But can YOU?
