If poverty is a man I would crush it to death I hate to see stressed sweats On faceless faces of man Whose struggles has become food And endless hustles with no good
Unhappiness is like a tasteless tea For happy hearts, it is not a delight Yet,sorrowful soul embrace it day and night Eventhough,their dreams are empty How can a mouth that hardly touch food be happy? Or how can a soul dressed in rag be happy?
Poor people hardly remember tomorrow But the survival of today A soul that tasted happiness everyday Will not wish for sorrow For poor people, life is like a hell But left with no option, in it they dwell
Their mind is full of echoes of silent screams But noone respond to their cries They call it pretences and lies And life built on empty dreams Make poor people happy where they reside Save sorrowful soul save suicide
If I possess power to **** poverty I would do so without delay I wish to help many souls in my own little way And save people whose lives are empty For a helpless soul is a dangerous snake That could put a nation at stake
How could you understand how they feel? When you toy with their emotions And neither give them comforts nor solutions How could you believe their story is real? When you call it pretences and lies And turn deaf ears and blind eyes
How can a soul wear poverty garment? In a democratic states of elites And feel helpless with an unprotected rights Yet,we claim good government What a wicked world! This has gone beyond a mere world
