Poverty

December 11, 2008
By Anonymous

We are individuals
but yet we are one
poverty affects all young and small
why do we sit back and watch
when we can act as a whole
stop poverty young and small
40% more on welfare and disability
we want a new school. Yes we do
we want a chance to live and have an education
help us, help me, help you
stop poverty young and small
take a stand and be strong
poverty can't take over
let's all be one
help the unfortunate, let's be equal
