    Poem Commentary

    I have this poem and THIS PEN published in books. That was really exciting for me.

    POVERTY

    Poverty is anger
    Poverty is strife
    Poverty is sickness
    And loss of life

    The depth of poverty
    Knows no bounds
    She wears her disease
    Like a golden crown

    Poverty seeks to kill and destroy
    All that's left is sadness; no joy
    No matter if one is weak or strong
    Poverty is death; and it is wrong

    How perfectly spiritual you are, or have to be, to pen such an honest and refreshing piece—TY!

    I hear that. Say that again! Nice. You have given a voice to the voiceless.

    so so true, I love this poem, poverty is not good for anybody you would think in these days people would have sympathy for one another, but the world is full of greedy and selfish people. wondeful, plain and simple but amazingly put

    As a bit of poetry, it's not bad. As philosophy it's just plain mad. None- the- less, I like you as a person, though will not cry.

    Thank you!! I was angry at the time of this one. And maybe a little depressed!! I you can see, it doesn't last.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
