Poverty all around me!

While sitting here eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a cold glass of milk I realize that all my life Poverty been all around me for my life! This is when you know it has it hands on your family! you have salt no pepper! Gravy but no rice. Kool aid  but no sugar. Bread but no butter. Month but no money. You want to answer your phone but glad you have caller ID! See in our world people don't kill themself  because they are broke! We was born that way! Yes came in this world owing a bill that was put in your name before you was born! Poverty!

 Poverty has no skin color. No size or no gender! People don't like to admit it but when you have lived in this life you don't really know how broke your family is until you go out your neighborhood and realize your tv was not lying! Out of my neighborhood people live different than I knew they have cars when we have a bus! Wow a cab that is yellow but our train got many colors on it! Riding a train how cool is that? Never knew we was poor when them food stamps hit boy we ate shrimps and crab legs too! A T-Bone steak on Friday night! You stop poverty is what? Most people feel like we have it so bad!

The only time we hate this place when we are broke no food stamps then it gets hard to live but next month its n and popping! lol Poverty! A life we live!
