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!
