Poverty is always near:Selena Soucy

Selena Soucy

For my project, I wrote a poem:

Poverty is always near.

It surrounds us everyday

Sometimes we are too shallow to see it,

And other times we look too far.

Poverty is exposure to a tough life,

A life that should never see the light of day.

It seems unfair that the most innocent people in life

Often receive the harshest punishments.

But there's a reason for everything

And maybe God created poverty to show the negative way of life.

Either way, all life is precious

And nothing should be taken for granted.

We all see our neighbors suffering and yet

We overlook the sorrow it causes.

Wherever we go we see poverty;

Poverty is always near.
