A very poignant write, dear friend. You have brought up some very valid points. This has brought to light the many facets of poverty and strife.

"It breeds inside every inch of their hearts
It is the dirt imprinted on their rags of clothes
The contaminated water cupped by their hands
The pain felt with every step they take
It is the gasp of polluted air they inhale
Poverty is etched on their faces"

Very well done, Bonnie

Always,
Jeannie

I really liked how you ended the first and last stanza with the same line. It had a real "in your face" listen to me, hear my words attitude about it.
A very strong message lay between the lines of this piece.
Take care dear Bonnie

Very strong message. It is very sad that this still goes on in our world.

It is in the twinkle of an undeveloped tear
Sitting on their eyelid, waiting to fall
It is inside the eyes that meet a struggle each day
Every drop of sweat and blood drained from their bodies
It is amongst all the diseases they could not possibly cure
Poverty is etched on their faces

Great job on this piece.
Take Care Cindy

Great poem Bonnie! You have talent, its very sad what this world goes through and its very sad when there is little we can do, but I can see that your a person with heart to write a poem of this topic as well as the other poems youve written. Great job girl! 5/5

I must say you really captured the atmosphere the descriptive language you used truly helped you to capture the moment (big worlds think your so smart lol) though as me and you both know poverty does not only last for a moment a lot of times it's the only thing some children will ever know they are born into it and die becasue of it we must open eyes to understand why it is that so many people all over the world are forced to live like this and stand up and fight against the power and money that pays corupt governments to make peoples lives a living hell.
Luv ya
