"POOR"


Hi, no I'm not crack or weed but I am a four letter word that's about to describe some people's life- POOR Yeah you may know me as of being in the streets begging people for their paycheck so I can eat, and I can't wash my feet. Devastating I know bu,t I should've payed my payroll. look at me now no place to stay, no good food, all I eat is basic food not even steak. When you see me on the corner you just smile and wave. However, what about me having a great place to stay?? I can't even watch TV. And who are you to call me a bum and you just feed me your two or three left over crumbs? Hmmm.... What would you do if you were in my shoes while I'm in yours? I would've at least given two or three dollars so you could grab a bite to eat and swallow. The quote "You reap what you sow" is true not like some show titled "The Groove". You could be me anytime of the day. And no this isn't play. You can eat now, starve later, watching some one read the morning paper.
