Can You Believe

Poverty comes to live and comes to stay
and will never go away
a widespread issue, people say
mankind will face everyday
causing Blacks, Whites, and Asians to fast and pray
to the Heavenly Father for this to cast away.

can you believe? poverty is here to kill
and make us ill
this was notify on it's last will
that we're just an exercising drill so we must not move
and stay still
until it's duties are fulfill
which is to make us commit suicide by taking pill.
