The Rich are getting Richer
Poor are getting poorer
We hear it everyday
But all we do really is sit and pray,
For the people who are undernourished
Have no homes and are famished
This crisis of Poverty is a social Injustice
But all we care is Piri-Piri Fries with extra ketchup
These days Kids Don’t eat food for a new video game
But have you once thought about those poor kids
Who are working at such a tender age
And so when your kids complaint
Then Let them feel ashamed
Because those one day outfit
That they threw away
Are like Gold Mine for those poor children
Poverty is an issue that we create
I agree they are born in debt and decay
But finest Diamonds are found from coal tray
However there is a way
To eradicate Poverty
By giving equal opportunity to the worthy
Upliftment for a better cause
Where you’ll even get blessed by the God
Not everybody is born With a Silver Spoon
So Don’t just sit and watch if their conditions improve
Cut this line of Poverty by creating more jobs
Help them Renovate Their Houses
Or Invest in Their Child’s Education, well that’s your call
But don’t just perch and stall
Let them know
That Humanity hasn’t died afterall
Don’t let them sleep cold near the street
Help them be warm and in peace
For they deserve their basic needs
When you do this just notice their wide smiles
Those twinkle in their eyes
And next time if your daughter cries
For a new PC or mobile
Show them what real Poverty is
That they should appreciate being the fortunates.

Poverty the shackles unbroken
Grown over ages for I pull in
And never wish to depart them
For I fear, losing my own galore.
The shine of yellow gold
Calls me even more bold
Sharing them is impossible
