Poverty, a word, A cause A journey with no applause Poverty So many speak, too few listen Pound in the tin, Conscience in pocket Poverty A cudgel taken up on my behalf They take my voice, Ignore my words Poverty Level the scales balance the need Enough for everyone No time for greed Poverty The latest dance, do you hear the rhythm? Do you know the rhyme? Poverty Words that explode, none of them are mine Poverty to History, Injustice will not confine Poverty Make poverty History’ sounds so divine If it sooths your conscience, fine Poverty I should be grateful shouldn’t I? Not raise questions, but learn to die Poverty Sweet charity, Blind Indifference Do you know me, Can you see me Will you hear me Poverty. « return. |
