Poetry is one form of artistic expression that can be enjoyed by many people, poetry has many famous poets with their extraordinary works, poetry or verses were very popular in ancient times, for example when they were shepherds, working even when they were relaxing, at that time, they did not know what songs were, let alone electronics. now I start with the theme, poverty, enjoy and read.

Poor people on the street
who live in the gutters
who lose in the struggle
who are teased by dreams
don't leave them

The wind carries the smell of their clothes.

Their hair sticks to the full moon.

Pregnant women line up on the horizon,
bearing the fruit of the highway.

Poor people. Sinners.
Dark babies in the heart. Grass and moss on the highway.
We can't ignore it.

If you underestimate them,
on the road you will be hunted by shadows.

Your sleep will be full of delirium,
and the language of your children is hard for you to guess

Don't you say this country is rich. because poor people thrive in cities and villages.
Don't call yourself rich if your neighbor eats his cat's carcass.
The symbol of this country should be sandals and calico.
And it needs to be proposed that when meeting the president you don't have to wear a tie like the Dutch.
And soldiers on the street should not be free to beat students.

Poor people on the street
enter your night's sleep.
Hibiscus women
feed your sons.
Dirty hands from the street
touch your window glass.
You can't avoid them.

Their numbers can't be mystically reduced to zero.
They will be questions that intercept your ideology.
Their yellow teeth
will grimace in the face of your religion.
Syphilis and tuberculosis germs from dark alleys
will perch on the presidential curtains
in the program book of the arts building.

Poor people have marched throughout history,
like the hot air that is always there,
like the drizzle that always looms.
The poor raise knives to our chests, or to their own chests. Oh, just think, the poor are also from the tent of Abraham.

Poverty is not a disgrace - but looking down on a poor person is...

What do you mean by hibiscus women...?
