Welcome To The City Of Poverty Poem by jackie compton

Welcome to the city limit of poverty.
A city without a soul.
Located in a land without a conscious.
It's motto reads.
A place where hopes and dreams goes to die.

Welcome to the city of poverty.
Where the streets are pave with failure.
Where the resident lives in houses built out of shattered dreams and broken promises.

Welcome to the city of poverty.
Where the school is located on the main street of low expectation.
For the course of failure is not taught as a tradition, but away of life.

Welcome to the city of poverty.
A city without a soul.
Located in a land without a conscious.
A place where equal opportunity refuses to live.
A place where failure is the major employer.
