eredicate poverty Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Samori Sombel Sy, United States Jul 6, 2005
Poverty   Poetry

  


Let's eradicate poverty
in other words, the deprivation of right
obstructing one from basic benefits
leading to substantial denial to health
basically causing adversity among citizens.

Let's eradicate poverty
in other words, make regressive taxation
leading to an impoverishment trap and inflation
for present and upcoming generations
become what I call progressive taxation.

Let's eradicate poverty
in other words, the deprivation of information
peasant education is quite a disease
causing bad leadership and corruption
that leads to suffering in our nation.

Let's eradicate poverty
in other words, realize that half of the earth
lives on less than two dollars a day
perhaps push uncle sam to give up
nothing more than one percent.

Let's eradicate poverty
in other words, stop making the poorest people
pay for debts when they have no access to food
debts which they neither contracted the loans for
nor received any money to access goods.

Writting is like a weapon, you can use it in a positive or negative way. I try my best to use it positively by promoting the well being of society as a whole, and bringing up different issues that the world and humans face today.
