Poverty is A Crime

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:11 AM Let us declare that poverty is a crime It is a crime because it has been 'causing much trouble to this civilized world It is a crime because only crime breeds crime It is a cime because it's not a pretty sight to behold It is a crime because it needs to feed on questionable things It is a crime that needs to be eradicated It takes a lot of people to wipe it off the face of the world It is going to need plenty of woman and man to hold hands together to cease its spreading It is not going to be an easy task, but it will be worth the price We must not ignore poverty Everyone who ignores poverty must be deemed criminal 'Cause ignoring criminals means helping them to spread So everyone who ignores poverty is criminal too Think of it, people, what can we have if we eradicate it A world where there's no one sleepless at night hungry A world where children enjoy their rights to learn and play A world where no one is told to die by petty money A world where no one is criminal So let us hold in hands in peace Gather our minds, hearts, strengths and riches To spread the Blessing given by God to us To eradicate this one crime that is the root of all crime | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | |
