Poverty
April 18, 2013
Small house, no yard. No food, it’s hard- to make ends meet. Clothes don’t fit, bare feet. No couch, no bed. Two cots instead. No water, no electricity. No help in this vicinity. NO help, no aid. Too many bills need pain. No career, no car. Hard to survive, hard to start. Family dog is now freed, no food to feed. Children and I are starved. A new life needs carved. This is what it’s like to be poor.... No life.... Anymore.
