Poverty.










Whats Your view on poverty?

Hunger? Thirst? Deaths?


What defines poverty?


I seriously haven't got many points when it comes to poverty! For me poverty means really poor people who live in third world countries and beg for whatever bit of food they can get!


Many tv networks , air the current situaition thats going on in most third world countries.

Well actually to view, poverty doesn't only exist in third world countries, it exist EVERYWHERE!


I mean literally everywhere around the world there is an ounce of poverty. Its proven, So dont argue.






Ok lets take africa for instance, There are parts of africa that live in the riches! They have practically everything they need. and then there are parts of africa where they eat sand!

Now the fundamental question is.. How do we eradicate poverty?

Its not impossible. You see the world has literally enough resources to make sure everyone lives a healthy life, I mean it doesnt mean we have have to live a wealthy life. But what happens when we throw away wealth and just keep health?
We idolise people like Paris Hilton and Lindsay lohan, because they live a life of luxury!

If celebraties can afford to splurge on Material objects such as designer clothes and wards of cars, then why are there still people all over the world living in slum?



Lets not go as far as Africa! What about the Harlem in New York? That place is called the bronx for a reason; the people who live in the bronx live in extreme poverty too!



But how can this be ? Its NEW YORK, THE BIG APPLE! TIMES SQUARE! , You see it doesnt make sense does it!

The world doesnt make sense!

There are people starving all over the world and yet there are people who eat in sunset boulevard everyday.

Presidents all over the world make public appreances to raise money for the poor, not because they want too! Its because they have to! Thats the only way they get to earn more power! They sink into the hearts of many just by pretending!

And gosh, how we fall for all the hogwash these people do!


A concert is held in the name of Poverty/Aids and yet all you see is welldressed celebs singing out there!

Why not bring down kids from ehthiopia to perform! How do we know what they can do until they show it, or at least given the chance to show it!

Everybody has some talent, and you dont have to be rich to show it, right?






God, China and India are two countries that are over populated, They hord billions of citizens, Billions of people who are able to do something or other yet the countries look like dumpsites. There are only a few places in these countries that are beautiful and when i say beautiful i mean Breath-taking! So why not make the entire country breath taking? You have the man power to make a change!

Everyday Tens of thousands of CHILDREN die from various reason, Mainly AIDS, FLU's , STARVATION and the like , But most of these reasons can be avoided!

Instead of acting and singing and blowing millions of dollars buying clothes why dont celebs go to these countrys and help them out? Or is the social stigma too high?

You know what, I feel sick just thinking about this! Its an abomanation!
Anyway guys all im trying to say is lets all try and MAKE POVERTY HISTORY!!


"to be poor is to be deprived of those goods and services and pleasures which others around us take for granted."
