Street Kids



Before when I saw street kids I felt pity.  
I surmised it was my moral duty to end child poverty.
Now when I see a begging kid, I see a choice.
God and the Government elected the poverty voice.
God gives free will to two to have offspring.  
The two form the first government happening.
The first government allows a second government to decide on food and more.   
The second government loves the poverty door.
Wise leaders avoid being smart to have government control.
Limited public education is the rule.  
The first and second governments want street kids to be.
It is a choice in society.
