I know having and not having
Is very subjective.
Many are satisfied
With what they have
And many are not.
In one sense,
It is difficult to say,
What exactly is poverty.
But when even the basic necessities
Of life are not satisfied,
That is the tragedy of life.
It is just survival
From day to day.
What does it mean
To really struggle
To fulfill
The basic necessities of Life
Which many of us take for granted?
Not thinking of the future,
Just survival,
From day to day.
The feeling of utter hopelessness
In not being able to see light
At the end of the tunnel
Narrow, straight and dark
With no changes at all.
That is life.
That is poverty,
Just survival from day to day,
The tragedy of life.
