Theme of Poverty
Life is a struggle; every day is a fight
To put food on the table; all day and night
With empty stomachs, we still work and toil
Our only hope, the nectar from the soil
A mother's love, a father's pride
Sons and daughters, by their side
A family that sticks; in good times and bad
Together, they face the poverty they've had
The rain pours, but not on our land
Our crops, they wither; our hopes, they stand
Against the drought, we fight with might
Hunger and poverty, an endless plight
The rich get richer; the poor get poorer
A cycle of poverty; we can't conquer
We dream of life; with enough to eat
A life without poverty, our ultimate feat
Yet, amid this struggle and pain
We find hope and joy; amidst the rain
For in our hearts, we know we are strong
And together, we will rise above all wrongs
