Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
Poverty
Poverty is not having the
economic status to
support oneself, having to wear
hand me downs past from one
generation to the next, having
low self esteem in school
because you are unable to
compete with peers, being
malnutrition, socially
unbalanced, being illiterate,
being mentally unstable, unable
to live a balanced life trying
to cope with ones own deficiency,
where the means to succeed means to
survive according to ones self
worth, making the best out of
poor resources, living check to
check, day by day on minimum
wage.
