POVERTY: ONE GLANCE FOR HUMANITY
67
Have you ever thought living in the house made of paper box?
Or only as big as the smallest closet and even have no door to close?
Some even don’t have place they can call home
Wandering on the road like those restless ghosts
Have to eat garbage
Have to drink dirty water
Choke for every mouthful
For every painful bite
Some are already very old
But still they have to work
For those who are no longer able to handle the job
Begging near the street is the only way they can think of
Still they can smile
But not sure how to cry
Too many pains
Cause's it to no longer feels like damn
Sometimes they even can’t feel anything
Rather than hunger which make them keep fighting
Live for today, rest for tomorrow
Eat today, not sure about the morrow
Father sold his child
To feed himself and the entire family
Mother sold herself
Hoping no daughter ever see's her in action
Sometimes she had
To prostitute her own baby
To make sure they are able to have money
To stay alive even in misery
It is life for them, maybe not even close
I am only able to captured what I heard the most
Now before you want to complain about your life
Come, join me and meet them alive

Hello, Sir. Yes, you are right. This become common suspicion for many about how much money really able to reach the poor and the needy and not lost under man's greed. Working for government made me witnessing so many corrupt behaviour. If, for even little amount of money they still stole it, hard to not get suspicion about how people handle big money. Thank you for reading this, Sir. :)
THIS writing is necessity! This is what we need to SEE! We need to lift our people up! It is God's law! We must obey and love the law. We must obey God and lift our brothers and sisters!
Very true, King Micky. We need to lend our hand and help. But like Wayne Brown said, sometimes it seem never ending pain. Maybe there is something wrong about the way we give. Maybe we need to be more progressive then only donating money. Maybe... I wish I know the answer.But still, in the end, we need to keep helping and feel grateful for what we have, because there are many people less lucky than us which need help. Thank you, King Micky. :)
Thanks God, how we are so lucky for not being those very poor people. God's eyes are on those who have more than they need and still wasting, trashing left over. It is really sad to do so; while there are the corners of the world many people who are suffer sips of water. Thank you Freya for your sharing.
Thank you for reading, Abdi. Yes, indeed we are so lucky. We should always remember this before we complaining about our life. Never forget to feel grateful and ikhlas about our life. :) Have a nice day, brother.
Nobody wants to be poor, those who live in prosperity should look around and help the needy. Thank you for this touching hub.
Salam, Bro. Yes, indeed. If you look above pictures, most of it is pictures of poverty in Indonesia. Really heartbreaking to look at. Thank you for reading this, my friend. :)

There is little else in the world so bad as a crooked politician and a hungry person. For what the crooks steal from people we could probably feed most of the hungry people of the world. Amazingly, Americans give and give every year to help stem world hunger and still it goes on. It makes me wonder how much of that money ever makes its way to the mouths of people in the form of food. Thank you for bringing this important and emotional subject to the forefront...life is not as hard as we might think most of the time. WB
