Hey Poverty O Poverty You Are Boon Poem by Sadashivan Nair

Hey! poverty,
'O' poverty,
You are boon;
You exist,
Others survive;
Your lyrical words,
Poets write,
Singers sing,
Your stories authors write;
O poverty,
Pain you endure,
Others survive;
Politicians promise,
Populous praise,
Clap on words;
GDP surge,
Inflation plunge,
You yet survive;
So unique you are,
NGO's survive as lice,
On your blood;
So infrequent you are,
Plannings fail,
Economics fail,
You don't fail,
You yet survive;
Hey! poverty,
'O' poverty,
You are immortal,
None dare destroy;
