Poverty Stray Dog
Look at those wide eyes Every morning I run and walk in the streets,
Looking blankly at the sky And you call me street dog.
With no more hopes, no tears left to cry Every time we grow in numbers,
Look at those skinny hands You call that a disaster.
With no flesh, no charm Every evening I walk into my dark corner,
And no energy for protection from any harm To sleep until the next morning comes.
No food to eat, neither any fresh water to drink,
Look at those bony legs, I must dine on garbage to survive.
With no strength at all
To hold them straight or save them from the fall There’s just one thing that I don’t understand
Why did you leave me?
Don’t you feel sad for these people
These people don’t get their basic needs Divyansh Pahal
Their life is very harsh obviously MYP-3
Why nobody bothers
Why nobody cares
Everybody is made equal, why are you being unfair? Poverty

Those questioning eyes, Look at those Shiny arms
That mute mouth Without any calm
Lacking education, facing social discrimination And no protection
Only we can liberate them Form another’s harm
Set them free
Help them come out of this misery Hwang Young Been
MYP-3
We are responsible,
We need to end this
WORDS 2020 -21 A world free of poverty WORDS 2020 -21
Raise their level, help them blend in
No sadness, only glee
Our satisfying effort, making us one with thee.
