Some people describe poverty as a lack of essential items such as food, clothing, water, and shelter needed for

or proper living.
I describe it as deaths of unborn, suffering of innocents, or the most horrific thing anyone could ever imagine!! But poverty in real isnt just lack of essential items .

Poverty is not having a job, Fear of future, Living one day at a time
