we have our poor in our own backyards

The age of poverty

It depends on places

Cities, towns or villages

Of people earning income

We can hear

The cities poor

The towns dilemma

The villages cross-roads

The study on poverty

It may not paint an accurate picture

But it will jolt us about the poverty

In our own backyards

Nobody can deny it

We have our own poor people

Struggling to live every day

We shouldn’t dismiss it completely

We seem to forget

Passing them or hear of them

Until outsiders question it

Make a report on the poor

This is one of the core values

The leaders elected to tackle it

They shouldn’t dismiss off-hand

We have the poor in our backyards!
