Make Poverty History <br /> <br />Poverty, a word, A cause <br />A journey with no applause <br /> <br />Poverty <br />So many speak, too few listen <br />Pound in the tin, Conscience in pocket <br /> <br />Poverty <br />A cudgel taken up on my behalf <br />They take my voice, Ignore my words <br /> <br />Poverty <br />Level the scales balance the need <br />Enough for everyone No time for greed <br /> <br />Poverty <br />The latest dance, do you hear the rhythm? <br />Do you know the rhyme? <br /> <br />Poverty <br />Words that explode, none of them are mine <br />Poverty to History, Injustice will not confine <br /> <br />Poverty <br />Make poverty History’ sounds so divine <br />If it sooths your conscience, fine <br /> <br />Poverty <br />I should be grateful shouldn’t I? <br />Not raise questions, but learn to die <br /> <br />Poverty <br />Sweet charity, Blind Indifference <br />Do you know me, Can you see me <br />Will you hear me <br />Poverty.<br /><br />Adrian Wait<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/make-poverty-history/
