Quatrain of Staying Poor

Staying Poor - a way of life

You married a poor bread winner,
where working wasn't
second nature, it
was a last
resort.

You brought kids into the world
hoping life would change,
but you kept getting
poorer with no
support.

Your kids turned out just like you,
they thought being poor was
a way of life, so
they kept it
going,

Poor parents, poor kids, they are
not the product of their
surroundings, it's a life
chosen by the
unknowing.
