Poverty ..

Can you imagine living in a world

Where you have to pay for gathering a glass of fresh rain water directly from the sky?
Can you imagine living in a world
Where being raped is a crime you can be publicly stoned for?
Can you imagine living in a world
Where dying of natural causes is less likely then being killed?
Can you imagine living in a world where rather then comparing nutritional value labels, you’d have to stand in line for hours for the only type of rice there is?
Can you imagine living in a world
Where being born isn’t a right but a sentence?
Can you imagine living in a world
Where you’d be happy to pay taxes for that would mean you’ve actually earned something and have an address?

We live in that world.
