Poverty

Poverty is shackled human spirits burdened with ignorance with no relation to power or mission.
Its mucky existence can be repeated from generation to generation with premission to be re-birthed.
Carefully crafted adjustments in education and real life experiences are a sobering realization to its end.
Poverty is not a black man’s ballot; its dim overcast is a growing shadow over many.
Let’s not handicap ourselves with the gleam notion that poverty is just tied to dollars and cents.
The burning desire to escape its grip is rendered in the soul that seeks it.
Education is the great avenger stretched over time in opposition of conformity.
The intrinsic notion of eradicating poverty would derail our system and eliminate opportunities that stricken us so violently.
We are an embittered society with unlimited resources to institute change and to promote the general welfare of all.
A deeper commitment to education is the ointment to eradicate the aches and pains of poverty and loosen its grip.
