Sorrows
in Poverty
By : Lidia Agustin
Sadness feels binding
Wrapped around the heart, burning emotions
Seeing them weak,
Wrapped around the heart, burning emotions
Seeing them weak,
Die of starvation in a rich land
Defining a silliness
Defining a silliness
Undue ridiculed
Walking in soft
shoes
Asleep into
delicate fabrics
Beautiful dress
Delicious food
A good education
Just be an illusion
for them
Illusion that
always they imagine
When,,,
Their feet bleed because walking on sharp gravel road
Shivering cold
because sleep without bed in the night
Very embarrassed for wearing clothes were torn in tatters
There are no foods
that can be eaten
Not getting
education
For them,
Life is luck in a
misfortune
Lucky to survive,
But misfortune because they have to undergo this all
But misfortune because they have to undergo this all
Crying without
tears
Only claustrophobic
feel
Tucked away in
their silent cries
Their happiness
seized
There is no
guarantee of happiness for them
It's sad
Seeing the fat
people shut their eye
Despite their ears
buzzing
Hearing the thin
people hearts
Do not pretend to
not see
Do not pretend not
to hear
Do not pretend not
to know
There are billions
of people screaming and thrashing
People who are not lucky like us
Who wants to have a comfortable life
They are not thought to fulfill their desires
When their needs are still unmet
Is this a human story?
Who wants to have a comfortable life
They are not thought to fulfill their desires
When their needs are still unmet
Is this a human story?
