POVERTY: WAR OF TODAY <br />melvin banggollay <br /> <br />Poverty abound everywhere <br />Even in paradise of plenty <br />As long as there are brothers <br />Who seldom eat sweet honey, <br />as long as there are sisters <br />under prostitution's malady, <br />when children are still under <br />abuse and exploitation by many <br />and as long as there are disaster <br /> jeopardizing life and property. <br /> <br />Poverty is a war and disaster <br />Hounting every nation today <br />that can't be won by a leader <br />without the help of everybody <br />as it is a war arm with disaster <br />that can only be hurdled with unity, <br />frugality, thriftiness with power, <br />economical spending and industry, <br />good governance by our leaders <br />with an undying vow to foster unity <br />peace and cooperation as brothers <br />among anyone to preserve humanity.<br /><br />MELVIN BANGGOLLAY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poverty-war-of-today/
