Poverty Traps Perpetuate In Renewal Of Status Quo Poem by Terence George Craddock

the past to the present to the future
long continuum fractured dominance...
power struggles based on toxic mixtures

tradition division exploitive innovation
swinging pendulum sweeping changes...
rock agriculture into industrial powers

equilibrium change retains sweat labours
intellectual research detailed poverty cycles...
born in poverty plastic spoon survival people

raised deeply dipped in awareness continuum
know wealth privilege systems stacked decks...
trap uneducated destitute people on lowest ranks

in perpetual renewal of status quo yesterday today
