poor will make you cry


Poor will make you cry
Living in the cold go hungry at night
The days will be long running around
Scavenging for food; crumbs or leftovers

Nobody will look everyone will walk away
The time of compassion hardly in the eyes
They walk on hurrying for work or appointments
The poor will hope a good sunshine

The neighbours will try to help
Giving alms or food to stop the growling noises
Living poor it isn't by choice
It is a bad decision gone wrong

It is hard not to cry
The good things in life
Watching it by the windows display
The smell of food and colours of drinks

Don't talk about fashion
Nothing will grace the body or soul
It is all the rags or second or third hands
But the family stays willed to make it better

Years come and go
The changes knock the doors
The sunshine glows in the darkness
The light finally sees through the day

Once it has broken free
Don't forget the time on the low
The memories of those years
It will not go away
