The curse of poverty
Poverty Poverty is a curse for human society Poverty prevails there where the injustice is Poverty exclaims there where the illiteracy is Poverty is purely man made So it has to be eradicated from its root The society afflicted with poverty Is reprehension of entire human society Corruption is the source of poverty Only a fearless society can be said Free from all poverty Where the people are dumb and discounted Poverty exists there Poverty shows, how many immature person Rule the country Poverty is the reason for all philosophical end.

Poverty In The 21st Century
It’s the 21st century The media displays it day and night, Poverty. Poverty across the globe lies Poverty cries out from the belly of little boys Little girls, parents too Desperately searching for food, Shelter, clothing, for love, Companion, for attention Those with plenty, refuse To amend, a world haunted by Poverty. Is poverty affecting the rich? Are their poverty the same As the poor in financial constrains? For they, too, poverty of love I see poverty in the learned I see poverty in those whose Selfish acts are destroying society. I see poverty in all level of humanity The world is still an imperfect place Yet life is still beautiful, the wind Blows, we see it not, give thanks For what you possess, now go, Help if you can along the way, Help to eradicate poverty In your surrounding, widen Your boundary across your Country, to nations of the world. Help to fight poverty, now! Winston Harding |
Wings
If I have only one wish to be granted that is to escape from poverty and fly away from it. If I have only one wish that is, to escape from poverty Poverty that drains my energy Poverty that punishes my family I will make my wings, My two huge wings and fly away from it. Yes, if I have only one wish that is to escape from poverty. Though I think I really can't escape this life-sucking poverty I guess that the only way out is the only way in. And my wings My two huge wings is now a childhood irrelevant idea wings that can't fly far, far away from it. I f I have only one wish to be granted Yes, Please! I want to escape poverty Poverty that empties my reserved energy Poverty that stains my family Poverty that attached me to a lot of humiliations and fears and insecurities. Yes, Please. I have collected so much blood and shed a lot of tears Because I want to escape poverty and fly away from it. But God didn't make it possible My wings My two huge wings God didn't help me construct these wings and escape from Poverty and fly away from it. But now the sky is clear and I can see from My two eyes my two huge eyes God didn't betray me There's a lesson that can be learned from poverty. All this life you shouldn't runaway and 'escape from poverty and fly away from it.' Instead, I have only wish the wish that is already granted from the very start. I never know it could happen could ever be possible. I was saved by God from poverty of the mind poverty of the heart and poverty of the soul. I escaped from poverty not by my wings by my two huge wings but by God's wings God's humble wings and together we escaped poverty and flew away from it. Mary Jesusa Villegas |
