Whats Poverty

Poverty is a state of the mind not being able to provide reasonable thought or ideas even in an abundance of wealth. poverty is also a state of lack, not having the basic social requirements.

My Experience of poverty

My experience of poverty is how it has shuffled its way into our continent (AFRICA) destroying our peace and hope rather than basking in wealth we are dying of poverty. As a student in Africa, our educational system for the past year is collapsing, our infrastructure is deteriorating and the standard of leaving is increasing on a daily without any sustainable backup.


Wake
It's time to work
We are the dreams of America
The hope we seek in Africa
The land of riches unrefined

Breath
We've got a life to live
And brothers to raise

Dive
Into this ocean of love
With our black skin untoned
Rich in variety

Work
Until the grounds are broken
And our streets are golden
Just as our dreams have spoken

Let's break this divide
For we can't be in poverty
With soil rich in vitality
Let's stop this cycle of adversity
For we were never in scarcity
Making use of our resources

...

Arise, Africa,
Let's end starvation in our area
And create food in abundance
Let's be our keeper
With God our seer

Stand up Africans
Let's be our own Republicans
And vote for good governance

Dance
No matter the tribe
Let's show off our treads
Rebuilding this route

Together, let's be the bridge to our clans
Educators within our borders
Fighting this deficiency laid upon our shoulders

As we keep up the hope
And let go of the dove
Let's till down this slope
And fill up our barns

Let's renew our minds
And strategies our focus
For Africa is our home
And we are never alone
