Poverty
by Lynn Rosen
Poverty Oh Poverty!
You weaken the heart and soul
Destroying life little by little
You creep up and come in for the kill
Don't you think you had enough?
Where is the fairness?
Will there be any relief?
You hurt my heart and make me so sad.
We are God's children under the sun and yet
you play with us!
You debilitate and destroy
How unfair this is
Oh poverty,Oh poverty!
Leave us alone and flitter away
We have had enough disparity
We are ready to display
Our faith in humanity
A faith that hunger doesn't bring
Begone with you and let the earth sing
Dear Lynn,
ReplyDeletei like your poem.it gives clear picture of how one feel.let me share this:
Get out poverty
we don't want you here
you are a deases in our midst
You cause lives to loose
Now we have know that you are here
WE will strike you to death
And the world will be so good for us
After you death our minds will be free
The great joy in our heart needs to be share around the world
hug
ALUS .....(peace)
Hunger kills without a gun
ReplyDeleteMoms and dads, daughters and sons...
Hunger leaves no hope for the kids,
Empty stomachs pang, for the food they plead.
When you read these lines,
a child dies of hunger.
Open your heart to the poor people,
Share with the hungry!
