Is Being Poor a Crime

The birds chirping
Like the sound of bell
The rugged look of poor
Their stale smell
The smiling children
With a wonderful spell
The polluted surroundings
And lots more
The world seems brighter
For those who snore
 
Under microscope or sunlight
Look at the matter with a naked eye
Matters of poverty have gone too far
Politicians are sleeping to start a war
 
Filling their pockets to live royally
What of those poor working loyally
The pile of work of rich is too high
To consider about the poor
So all they do is lie
 
Think once for goodness sake
What about those things vanishing on earth
People will become extinct like all things do
Have you no shame or fear of the lord
Nothing will happen if you do well out of the blue
 
The life of poor forever in my eye
I wouldn't be asleep if I thought I had die
It is poignant and very hard to forget
The feel of being poor once you are left
 
To feed and clothe is not a joke
To smile and live is a great hope
To beg, and cheat is not proper
You are role models teach them the way
 
Give them one chance
A high standard of living and a good pay
They will make you proud in every way
For the love of God, just do as I say
I wish your well-being and a bright day...:)
