Poor Poems - Poems about Poor

We are what we eat— yet the bread on our tables has turned to ash in the mouth. Once, the poor were the healthiest of us all, nourished by fields that knew no poison, fed by rivers that flowed without a price. The earth gave freely, and our bodies sang with light. But then came the merchants— Western capitalism draped in silver lies, turning soil...
