A Burn of Appetite
Poverty
Where a person burns,
A burn of appetite,
Searching food for aliveness.
Poverty
Where a person knows,
What is his benefit?
But he suffers to gain it.
Poverty
Where a person demands for,
What is his choice?
And trying to get forcefully.
Poverty
Where a person is helpless,
He has all developing tools,
But he can’t use against his will.
Poverty
Where a person is wealthy
Always afraid for its stealth,
And pretends as a poor.
Poverty
Where a person is ignorant,
He has everything,
But he doesn’t know to apply them,
Poverty
Where a person is honest
Although he has suffer,
But he can’t walk against his principles.
Poverty
Where a person is hard worker,
But someone sucks his labour,
He feels as a loin of circus.
Poverty
Where a person is adult,
He works for his duties,
A child courages him for love.
Poverty
Where a person is woman,
Follows his traditions,
Loves a person although he is cruel.
