Pobreza na terra da opulência


Living in poverty is never wearing something
That someone else has not already worn
Living in poverty is never buying something
That someone else has not already bought
Living in poverty is getting tired of people
Wanting you to be grateful
Living in poverty is checking the coin slot of
Every vending machine as you go by
Living in poverty is hoping your toothache
Will go away
Living in poverty is watching your mum
Making lunch dropping a piece of meat,
Then looking around to see if anyone saw
Living in poverty is buying a lottery ticket
When you can’t afford it
Living in poverty
Still hoping.
