Plight Of Poor In The Winter! Poem by Ramesh T A

Plight Of Poor In The Winter!

Rating: 5.0


Day by day winter cold is increasing to make all to take thick cover to overcome shivering;
Winter coating of white snow covers on all things making them hidden as if under sand;
Without strong health one cannot resist this cold against all pain one has to withstand;
But God only knows how poor people lie sleeping on pavements with tattered clothes on!

Pitch dark night with cold condition prolonging till dawn in the morning is too much to bear;
But despite that many live outside under the coldest climate human and animal can't resist;
Still poverty is making many held up in earthly hell to undergo torture unbearable as in fire;
Without food, clothing and shelter it is only a great hellish circus to live in winter world!

Many refugees due to civil wars and poverty migrate to developed places
On boats, walk for days and by any means available and weaker ones die also on the way;
The story of torture never has an end needing everyone's attention in Africa, Iraq, Syria;
Such countries' dying people's plight have become silent and feeble to hear as it has become usual one!

For, with feeble voice even crying for help and food is impossible until death swallows them;
Is it they are born to suffer and succumb to death to become food for hell's giants ever?
