Present Poverty

"Please do you have any change spare?"

Only occasionally people give.

Vacant stares usually oppress

Everyday, it is a struggle to live.    

Rumbling stomachs scream and stress 

Time is captive, trapped in such a mess

"You must see, do you even care?"

Please, never spare us the voice of the voiceless.
