Sonnet, evoking UNICEF data on child poverty

 

Children experience poverty

with their hands, minds and hearts,

all their suffering everlasts,

adverse destiny, life robbery.

 

What chances to survive and thrive?

Global transformation and assistance,

missing existence, calling for persistence,

strongly believe and stay alive.

 

Children living in poverty,

excluded and vulnerable,

poorness cycle is no novelty.

 

Children wellbeing pursued,

human capability approach,

hope and promises renewed.
