Analysis of Poverty’s Circles
All poor and misled people,
like bridled horses
without any means to escape,
blindly run in circles
all their life’s courses.
Still hoping for better or more,
people end up with even fewer
choices than before,
without notion of things to expect,
putting their wasted efforts
in what they instantly loose or forget
Those holding the strings now,
seem not willing or able to see,
the sickening treadmill they keep going,
steadily digs and paves
a steep pitfall for all of humanity.
Please, let there be new drivers
with visions that lift us up.
For the sake of all our children,
and the future of mankind,
put poverty to a stop.
