Poverty Poem by Raymond Valadez

a bird with broken wings,
he was born with them broken.
and if he wasn't born with them broken
he still would not be able to fly because of the stormy weather. however, his vision travels and exceeds his nest. all the other birds fly around and flaunt even taunt, but the bird with broken wings believes he is better then the rest. God why create a bird and break his wings? Lord that is like creating a winner and not letting him win. the only thing left for the bird with broken wings to do is dream about been free in his own nest to the end.
