Poverty

Its to show how poor people feel.

Grasping the world
In its powerful claws
Squashing every hope
Till death finds its way

Making petty criminals
Out of innocent people
Stricken with life’s cruelty
Ruining their lives and turning it into a horrible nightmare

Spreading gloom everywhere
Darkening each and every life
Making it into hell
Despised by every man alive

No joke it is
Living on little or no food
Starving oneself
Of food and all of life’s luxuries

It is nothing but mental torture
Like suicide
Every minute
And every second…
