It's the 21st century <br />The media displays it day and night, <br />Poverty. <br />Poverty across the globe lies <br />Poverty cries out from the belly of little boys <br />Little girls, parents too <br />Desperately searching for food, <br />Shelter, clothing, for love, <br />Companion, for attention <br />Those with plenty, refuse <br />To amend, a world haunted by <br />Poverty. <br /> <br />Is poverty affecting the rich? <br />Are their poverty the same <br />As the poor in financial constrains? <br />For they, too, poverty of love <br />I see poverty in the learned <br />I see poverty in those whose <br />Selfish acts are destroying society. <br />I see poverty in all level of humanity <br /> <br />The world is still an imperfect place <br />Yet life is still beautiful, the wind <br />Blows, we see it not, give thanks <br />For what you possess, now go, <br />Help if you can along the way, <br />Help to eradicate poverty <br />In your surrounding, widen <br />Your boundary across your <br />Country, to nations of the world. <br /> <br />Help to fight poverty, now! <br /> <br />Winston Harding<br /><br />Winston Harding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poverty-in-the-21st-century/
