POVERTY ON THE PROWL.

Thirsty throat.

Torn coat.

Empty stomach.

The definition of lack.

An epitome of scarcity.

Pity reigns in every city.

Prowl of poverty...

as demanding as puberty.

Desperate diseases.

Health hacked into pieces.

Sorrow sings with pride.

Her happiness she can't hide.

Joy has become a ghost...

tears can't help but boast.

The picture of a nation.

Pathetic from every indication.
