Poverty - How Did I End Up Here? Comments

Lodigiana thank you for your hard hitting poem to hopefully throttle and smack any reader in the face as a wake up call to life and its legions of poor everywhere around them in today's take take and wanton greed society. My late father taught me when I was young, the only thing free in this life is the air that you breath. Five stars and the war against poverty everywhere still rages on. And perhaps one sunny day.... Take care. Shaun. x.

2 - One way to cut down on poverty is to cut down on people, as horrible as it sounds to some people. may i suggest more available birth control and less money spent to keep OLD and incapacitated people alive? ? ? Don't hit me! ! bri :) p.s. i doubt anyone (intelligent) ever said life must be " fair" . to MyPoemList. i was pretty sure i'd find a poem worthy of my reading, ....and i was correct!

1 - line 5: girl's I'm guessing the goalposts were moved farther from where s/he wanted them. favorite lines (of many) so far: " Deprivation reeks of apathy and fusty half dried clothes, the smell of social housing mildew lingers up your nose" if i were a very sensitive person, this might bring tears to my eyes (i mean the whole poem) .
