Poverty Poem by VAIDYANATHAN.T. RAM

Poverty

Rating: 5.0


The world with its people,
People in different religion,
Religion with various festivals,
Festivals celebrated with joy
Once in a year.

But people in poverty
Could not celebrate,
Some farmer's who produce
Food for the country,
Could not celebrate.

But the people who
Buys the food from farmers
Enjoys the festival.
The people with money,
The people with tradition
Could only celebrate.

Sometimes, the poverty
Makes the people to go on
Wrong way,
Somewhere, the poverty
Had lead to suicide.

What makes the poverty?
Controlling wastage of food
In the country,
May avoid poverty.
Controlling wastage of money
In the country.
Sometimes, somewhere, the things
Which needed to reach people of poverty,
Doesn't reach.


Although some people donate,
Sometimes, Where the donation is done
For their status
The people in poverty are not fulfilled.
Since, the poverty is abolished.

Poverty is a crucial issue in many countries including India. But India is a country with many rich Indians too. Farmer class is a neglected class. You are right, Ram! money should not be wasted on frivolous activities like excessive celebrations. When the need to support the poor comes, people who can easily afford should come forward to give a helping hand. Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts through this poem. I join Ratnakar ji in giving you a full vote for this poem.

Good write. Much appreciated. But donation is not the proper way to erase the poverty. Nowadays donation has become a business to earn even government relief is a form of business. Please do read my poem 'Auction - Neelam '. Thanks for sharing. Regards.

It's a fact that farmers in developing and under developed countries live in very miserable financial conditions due to a number of reasons. The poem throws light on the plight of such marginal farmers. A great write, thought provoking and educative too. Thanks for sharing.10+ points.
