Poverty Poem by Pragya Bajpai

Poverty is the daughter of Jove
Which in a life is uncertain blow
Poverty is still in big mass
To great extent illiteracy is its cause
In poverty a person can do anything
During this time person's brain
doesn't have time to reason and think.

Poverty has been eradicated
to a great extent
And I pray poverty doesn't get strength
Poverty compels small children to work
when their age is to study
play and do craft work.

Poor women work all day
And receive a little pay
To get their children feed
Sometimes they work day
and night and do not get proper sleep.

Poverty can be eradicated
by making people illiterate
Promoting them to send
their children to school
So that they can learn
new morals and rules.
I want to eradicate poverty
And see this beautiful world
in peace and prosperity.
