Poverty

In the unreached corners of the city,
And by the side of a vast road,
Exists the dark side of mankind
And prosperity, struggling for survival
The inferiors of the superior
To exist in their only challenge
Neglected by their own;
Living under the tents of rags,
Naked children playing around;
Searching the garbage for
Leftovers, man & dog alike;
Wishing to die every night
In sleep only to be
Woken in the morn to lead
Another day of lifeless life.

(written in the 11th standard)
