We have plenty of poor in America,
But if they are unwilling to better themselves.
Then in poverty they will stay.
Unless the poor quit have more children that they can't take care of
And unless one gets an education
Then trapped one will stay.

Isitpoetry McLain
If a man can read,
Verily thus a man can learn.
And in learning gains the wisdom of what I just said.
Why do the poor keep having poor children that don't
Have a chance to start with.
How does one who is poor think that by having
More poor children that this will improve their situation?
No where is life for people the same.

I must go for now my friend.
I myself eat but once a day.
I will talk to you at some other time.
As I must be somewhere in a little while.
Stay positive and gets all the books you can and learn their ways.
Be as you are and stay true to the mind that you have.
