Poverty

Poverty is not a slogan It is a reality in our organ Though for time immemorial it had begun it is not to be treated as bygone When in situational Poverty There will be absence of property May be due to job scarcity Then you almost become a nonentity For some it is a generational poverty And so they give in to lazity lack of great deal of ingenuity may engage in unnecessary curiosity To be factual and kind The worse is poverty of the Mind Category of idiot such is lined Even when given the sun he will not shine His mind is on price and not value Rice and lice may even mingle Provided they bubble He may even want to burgle For those genuinely poor kept pressing but closed is every door Sleeping at times on a bare floor Despite observing every law Facing it all Ensure life doesn't play you like a ball Be wise and read handwritings on the wall Embrace it when opportunities call sometimes you will need to start small Rely on God you will stand tall Surely, with him you will not fall And your plane of life will never enter a stall.
