Christuraj Alex Poet Free verse

Pain of the Poor

It's not physical cold,
Nor the hunger, bold;
It's lack of human dignity,
And their psychic malignity; 
Turns chalices of our nights,
Wilder than wild-beast bites...

Anitha Jayasankar January 22, 2022 at 12:33 AM I agree Chris...sometimes the indifference and inhumanity of some people towards the poor is more painful than the original misery that these dirt poor people suffer from due to extreme poverty...Best wishes...~ Ani
