When A Country Imposes Too Much Burden Poem by Terence George Craddock

when a country imposes
too much burden
on children raising

when cost of living means
standard of living
falling falling

when standard of living
is below poverty line living

when standard of living
is heartache pain living

when standard of living
is can't pay bills buy food living

then watch birthrate rapid
falling falling falling

being tired is luxury
when it comes to children
