Poverty

Many people die due to poverty
says a recent United Nation's study
If the money spent on parties
is given to the poor and needy
then it will be a perfect remedy
to stop the hunger and tragedy
than any other international treaty

Human inability to understand the suffering of others leads to indifference for the life of others. Excellent tender writing my friend, Supraja! God bless you for caring!
