Poverty by James Bernard Myers (good books for 7th graders .TXT) 📖

POVERTY
To be without completely To have no Means

What is it in your mind that you call to be broke or poverish? Is it what others say that it is or is it totally something else that we do not know about or care to find the truth about it? Well let me tell you the whole truth about what this thing is that we call poverty and how we have to get rid of negative sayings about it and how it affects us as a race and nation. To be in poverty is to literally have nothing and be without means to get it. We have all sorts of organizations that we can turn to, to get the help that we need but we do not want that help and I can’t see why we do not really utilize the programs for what they are and not because they are just there. There are people that really abuse the system to the point that when myself or the ones that really need it are turned away in shame and ridicule. Why do we not take the right approach to these programs to the point of really helping us to get what we need and not so lean on it as a crutch? I really hate when I see those that do not need that shit but they take advantage of it and it hurts our people and the tax payers as well. We are a nation that is rich in wealth and riches and we have all that we need but we still say that we are broke and penniless. Now lets take a look at all of those that do have and are wanting for nothing, do you really see them trying to help those that are out and have no where to go and turn to in the time of need? We have all the places to go to get help and the resources to keep us alive and above the water. So why in the hell are we always crying that we are broke and we are gonna file for this thing that we call bankruptcy. This is the problem that we as American people have is that we are so stuck in our fucking ways of having what we want and we do not want to lose the little things that we have. I really do not care all about the things of the world for they are just an illusion of what is to become. Yeah you have those that have all that shit and they are just sitting on their asses and not really giving a damn about what the other man has and it really burns me up to see this. If you really look at it from the point of the person that is looking from the outside in, he can see that we have it all. But if you just reverse it and you see it on the other end then yeah, you are gonna say hey what the fuck……. So how can we manage this thing that is killing us from the inside out. It has been put in our heads and minds that we have nothing if we don’t have all the riches and glamour in the world that we call this place home and mother earth. This place is not our home this is a place where we have been put just for a season and not forever. This not a place that we shall call home, this is a place that is not a place to live and place all our trust in what has been given. This applies to the same as someone that says that they are homeless. The same rule applies as being in so called poverty. I will refuse to say that I am homeless and that I am in poverty. We all go through things in life to show us things and to teach us things, but we as black Americans and Americans alike we do not see it that way and we do not ever want to see it that way. We want to have what we want and we want it now, and there is nothing wrong with that but we have to know how to decipher betwixt the two. So let’s stop saying that we do not have and we have not, cause to have not is to want not, makes sense. Always remember that the power is in the tongue, speak life into someone else but you can use that same power to give unto yourself as well as the next man or your neighbor. Now that is all that I have to say about that and I ask that you give your self the props to be a human and not something that fell off the boat. You are Gods child and you can have anything that you want, you just have to believe in yourself first and then believe in the one that has given you the ability to know.
