Poverty

Starts as a child Happy wit joy No care in the world Was not asked to be born But he's here Sorry baby your mother was addicted your father was evicted, killed by his closest friends Never held you but he wish he can Listen Listen to sound of this child's voice praying Darkest fears was losing Greatest hope was pretending,Listen don't talk baby its not your fault He won't be able to eat He didn't know Will never learn to read He didn't know Will never enjoy childhood Will kill But WHY Will cry He can't talk Will Pray GOD says to Poverty Don't GIVE UP TODAY!!!!
