Poverty
Poverty
Poverty became flesh
It just walk and knock in everyone
It strikes with no mercy
Just as a lightning
Ohh poverty
Where are you coming from
What exactly do you want
Who exactly do you want
Ohh poverty
Poverty
You are an allie of sorrow
You and separation are friends
You and hatred are friends
You and money are enemies
Ohh poverty
Why do you chose hatred over love
Sorrow over happiness
Separation over unity
Ohh poverty
