Poverty

Poverty

by Meera Meenakshi Sundharam

It's the 21st century,

World has advanced in many ways, yet poverty still cries.

Looking at the little boy with tears in eyes,

Desperately searching for love, companion and good clothes

We all know what it clearly indicates and shows,

Poverty

It haunts me, and part of me wants to make a change and

the other me wants to forget

but I can surely bet
It's something one with a good heart wouldn't do!

If it takes some scarifies, I'm ready

But is the rest of the world?

I see poverty in a rich man trying to find love.

I see poverty in a well-educated man who lacks modesty.

I see poverty in a literate man lacks respect for the poor.

I see poverty in a selfish man who wants more.

The world is still imperfect despite all the advancements,

Because there is,

Poverty
