POVERTY - poetry

POVERTY - It is considered as lack of money. Yes absolutely it is a problem due to lack of money. In todays world, a person is considered to be a person only if he has money. People used to ignore poor people and doesn't consider them as between themselves. A poor person needs to work so hard for just a two time meal. What we call is our daily needs are what a poor person fascinate about. He works and even his children works for providing enough meal for their family. They lack in opportunities,they lack in health, in education and in every aspect of life. Most importantly they lack in equality. They are not considered as equal to other humans having money. In todays society, the money can't only buy us needs but it can buy the " Status" and " Self respect" for us. We see a lot of poor people nearby but we never think about the toughness they are suffering in their life. Have you ever thought how they manage to get a living. Just try to keep yourself in their places and think if you would be able to survive. I bet you can't. So please start helping poors as much as you can. 

 

Here's a few poetic lines which i have written by noticing a true situation. Please tell me how they are :-

-------------------------------------------------------

The dawn was falling down... 

He was working in brown... 

For the people of the town... 

With a plaid as his crown. 

Looks like a boy of nine, 

Brownish, slimmy, fine. 

Newspapers in his hand, 

" POVERTY" as " Headline". 

In this wintry-wintry morn (morning), 

some clothes that torn. 

Riches sleep in warmth, 

On roads are poor born. 

The craving you can't feel, 

Just for two time meal. 

He was working so younger, 

God, dont let him die in hunger... 

God, dont let him die in hunger...
