POVERTY:


Doesn´t our society know, or even try to realize,

Just take some time to listen & to look into her eyes,

Woman & her babies, trying hard to make ends meet,

Searching in the dustbins, for something they can eat.

 

She´s eking out few meager coins, to see how far it goes,

Aching within her heart, to the extent that no one knows,

Scraping knees in scrubbing & existence where she can,

This life of drudgery she is living was never in her plans.

 

In front of her small babies, she never dared to shed a tear,

She always had that smile, “It will be better in coming year,”

While having small lives to fight for, never would she cede,

Making sure her children would never have to see her plead.
