Poverty

Everyone is joining the rythm
Taking one step  at a time,
And singing the national song of poverty
Poverty!poverty!poverty!

Some says poverty isborn in us,
Some says we acquire it as we grow up,
But really where did pverty originate from?
We all look toward that day,
When our lips will sing a new ,
Succes!succes!succes!

Its not easy to cross the bridge of poverty,
 to eradicate poverty is
Falling and standing to the challenges,
Till we passover the bridge of poverty
And live to have a new song
