Poverty Poem by Jessica C. Brodie and Erin

Poverty is…

Poor people living on the street

All they get is a can of mistreat

One pair of shoes to wear day and night

Work, work, work until morning light

Get a job, get it quick

If you don’t, children get sick

Run to The City Mission

Unaware that your children

Are trying to bear the cold and the wind

Lying on streets with no help

Catching diseases...no doctors and dentists

Getting sicker and sicker

City Mission searching the streets

Finally good care

Now they are safe

Help the homeless!

By Jessica C, Brodie and Erin

Poverty Poem by Danya

Poverty is…

No money for important needs

Like vegetables and peas

Go to The City Mission

No belongings to start wishing

Having an over-crowded house

Can’t do anything about the mouse

Night sleepers on the street

Having bare feet

By Danya

Povert Poem by Zoey

Poverty is…

Can’t afford  household goods

Only can sleep on the streets

Go to The City Mission

Asking the things they wishing  for

Nothing can’t stop them being poor

Once they have the basics

Living happily once again

By Zoey

Poverty Poem by Ruby

Poverty is...

Being poor and living on the street

Not getting to go to the Drs or Dentist

Getting help for food

Not enough money

Can’t have cool presents

Can’t do sports

Going to The City Mission for help

By Ruby
