I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand, under an old street light near a garbage can.

Instead of war on poverty, they got a war on drugs so the police can bother me.

The struggles I'm facing, The chances I'm taking, Sometimes might knock me down, But no, I'm not breaking.

God does not create poverty; we do, because we do not share.

The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.

It is better to live under a tree in a jungle inhabited by tigers and elephants, to maintain oneself in such a place with ripe fruits and spring water, to lie down on grass and to wear the ragged barks of trees than to live amongst one's relations when reduced to poverty.
