A Poem with Facts About Poverty Since 2016

Poverty since 2016 is actually quite crazy

See most people have just been ignoring it lately

Getting really sick & tired of seeing people go hungry because they do not have enough money

Tired of seeing people in the streets all because of a rent they can barely meet

Even if they work three jobs & stay all day on their feet

Poverty since 2016 roughly about 40.6 million American mostly minority are dealing with poverty

That is a 12.7 percent poverty rate give or take some change

Mostly give because there’s people struggling to feed their kids

& Christmas is right around the corner I bet your whole family full of enjoyment

There is a 9.3 percent of people ages 18 to 64 dealing with poverty since 2016

This is the America everyone wants to fail to see because nobody really wants to face the facts of reality

That there has been poverty going on since way past 1960

But I came to see that poverty is still going on even in 2017

But this is the poverty rate since 2016 & boy does it make me want to scream

That the poverty rate is more than it should be

but this is poverty since 2016
