Poverty is the young kids sleeping on the sides of the road.
Poverty is having no food to eat.
Poverty is praying at night, hoping that in the morning, it'll be better.
If you make it.
Poverty is being able to see the children's bones, straight through their flesh.
Poverty is the children's cheeks, just as hollow as their eyes.
Poverty is the eyes of the young children, looking up at you and asking what they did wrong to deserve this.
The answer is nothing.
