Poverty! ! In its tightness. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A wonderful poem Agatha.. It is beautiful and a finely crafted poem. Thanks for sharing - :)

About your words (below) : should you add them in your bio, I could have them published in the ebook.. what do you think? '' The concept of a poetry book pointing out all sorts of inequalities is such a brilliant idea. I kept thinking about it, and I've been seriously taken into into further considerations since I received the message from you concerning Oxfam and their activity. I read some articles on their site, and I was shocked to see this 'unseen face of the world' they are revealing. It felt incredible, nightmarish and unreal. So many people are thrown in such poverty and degradation on one hand, and that handful of people who bask in their wealth and yet do not bother to do anything to help, on the other. This contrast is so staggering. I realised that we're placed in such situations daily, and it happens so often that we become immune to it, and we ignore it, as 'that's the way of the world, and we have to move on'. Things should't be like this. I believe it is an experience most people go through..but putting this into words, creating new meanings, raising a flag and delivering a message is the most important factor. ''

perfect for the new ebook.. very good, Eliza
