I chose to write about poverty because it is a big issue in places all over the world. There are so many people who barely survive and many of us are totally oblivious. We need to open our eyes and really help these people. Not just make a string of hashtags on social media. I am trying to let people know that they can help and they should because it wouldn’t be very hard for them to donate some of their time or money to these people. I want to help the less fortunate and you should too.

Our topic is poverty. We chose this topic for a number of reasons. First it was something that our entire group thought was a worldwide issue and we all had knowledge on the subject. Secondly, it is a topic that needs to be opened to the eyes of others. Poverty is something that affects people around the world. Some people who don’t see the effects of poverty everyday don’t understand how big of an issue it is. And that is why we wrote this poem. To show the world that living with a small two story house with food and water is more than some people will ever have.
