My greatest inspiration is Poverty. It awakened something in me, And inspired me to write poetry, Yet motivated me to chase my dream.
Poverty is the caveat for my hustle. It rekindled something deep in me, And Prepared me to embrace the struggle, And put me ahead of the survivor's game.
Poverty is the iivisible blackhole That pushes me away from the ghetto Oh Sonewen.you raised me like a flagpole You are my Lagos and you are Soweto.
Poverty is the reason I push my children. For I wish not for any of them to taste, The regressive nectar from her left hand. For it will brew in them pain and hate.
