There's Poverty

There's poverty they'll say
when someone staggers drunkly.
There's poverty today
when someone dresses shuntly.

There's poverty we'll say
when someone gathers junkly.
There's poverty all say
when someone bothers bluntly.

Where's poverty I say
when someone rushes juntly.
There's poverty I'll say
when someone brushes wantly.
