Some people say <br />They have not suffered <br />And in truth they may not have; <br />We have <br />And know what it feels <br />To endure the pain of deprivation, <br />The harsh reality of poverty <br />Seeking to throttle us; <br />Choking, coughing, crying blood, <br />Sweat, bile, hate - <br />Passioned heaving; <br />We try to adjust our thoughts <br />To hope for a better nation, <br />A richer economy in a stable polity. <br />Even America that now glories <br />Of all the world <br />Once too was poor.<br /><br />samuel nze<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-people-say/
