Poverty, a word, A cause
\nA journey with no applause<\/p>\n
Poverty
\nSo many speak, too few listen
\nPound in the tin, Conscience in pocket<\/p>\n
Poverty
\nA cudgel taken up on my behalf
\nThey take my voice, Ignore my words<\/p>\n
Poverty
\nLevel the scales balance the need
\nEnough for everyone No time for greed<\/p>\n
Poverty
\nThe latest dance, do you hear the rhythm?
\nDo you know the rhyme?<\/p>\n
Poverty
\nWords that explode, none of them are mine
\nPoverty to History, Injustice will not confine<\/p>\n
Poverty
\nMake poverty History\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 sounds so divine
\nIf it sooths your conscience, fine<\/p>\n
Poverty
\nI should be grateful shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t I?
\nNot raise questions, but learn to die<\/p>\n
Poverty
\nSweet charity, Blind Indifference
\nDo you know me, Can you see me
\nWill you hear me
\nPoverty.<\/p>\n

Today, i’m so happy to see that what i had\u00c2\u00a0contributed years ago has help others so much. I live in a Malay village, my family\u00c2\u00a0is among the very few Chinese residents in this area. Right from my grandparents’ time, this house has stood proudly on this piece of land for more than 30 years, surrounded by our Malay brothers and sisters. I remember donating a lot of stuff to my poor neigbours’ children, who can’t afford to go to schools. Sometimes, i would spend some time tutoring them, for free of course. Today, i was so happy to meet some of them, most are now successful. One now owns a shop, one a teacher and one a successful business. We talked about some interesting stories when we were\u00c2\u00a0young and innocent and tears fell down their cheeks…mine too….all in the name of happiness that money can’t buy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
