Poverty is a thing that many people have to deal with.
People deal with starvation.
Just because they don’t have high paying jobs,
Or because they have nobody to support them,
Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t feed them.
We have people die every day for not having enough food,
While on the other hand we have people who die of eating too much,
Why does this happen?

The gap between the poor and the rich is too high in our society.
We have people who do not feel safe in their neighborhood.
There are people who have their neighbors and family every day.
People who are unable to even support their family.
Us as a society are unable to help them.
What have they done to deserve this?
