Ask me what poverty is,
I’ll answer you slightly,
Don’t take pity on me,
Just listen to me.
Poverty is a book without a copy,
Sadness without money,
An empty stomach without food,
A cool dark night looking for a bed,
The poor are always listener,
Always lonely,
Separated and neglected by all,
They are non-human.
Poor are labelled as thieves,
They are dirt, that not to touch
Don’t take pity on me ,
Just listen to me.
