10-Minute Poem Writing on Poverty

The first time I’ve seen the light

I thought, in this world, everything is right

Living with a loving and caring family

I’m pretty sure that I won’t go astray

As I reached out to the world

I’ve seen people living with gold

But as I looked at the other side of things

I’ve seen the suffering of the human beings

Reality struck me each day I live

Nothing else I want to do than to give

‘Til the end of time I’m gonna offer

My life to make this world better

It's been a decade since I wrote this poem yet I can still imagine the atmosphere and all my emotions while writing.
