A reminder of just how fortunate I am, we are! The news shows poverty yet not the full extent. When we donate money for this cause it fails to be received.

Rose Marie a poem to make us stop, think and reflect on just how lucky we all all. This could be a scene set in any first world city let alone any third world abode anywhere on the so called civilised world. One day things will change for the better, but. it's one day in the future and people struggle day by agonising day, on a hand to mouth existence, in the here and now timeline. Five stars for making us think and take care.

Hunger and illness. Escape is a must. And violence is not a means. Perfection despite poverty. Brilliant haiku piece 10+

If he does not act, poverty will not change his situation. Without move, not a bit better.. A brilliant haiku, and powerful verse. BUT because he has sunk so deep in poverty, no energy anymore to fight against, he's fully drowned. Absolute marvelous and important message. Thank you so much for sharing. A 10 Full Score and myriad of 10's more
