Pining for a much better quality of life,
Opened to great suffering and pain.
Violence and hate, society's distain.
Every step seems a step in the wrong direction.
Realizing each day is a losing battle.
Trampled by the powerful, frowned upon by middleclass.
Yet always wondering, how long will it last.

Melvina, another wonderful thought provoking gem. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
My friend a fine analytical work. Having grown up in what I now know as poverty, exuberant memories of those days suggest that poverty can simply be a state of mind! Thanks for vigorously sharing your special thoughts.
