Study the scars
raised and raw
Excluded needing embrace
a silent tribute
Hear the cries
desperate and clear
acute whimpering beckons
a soft plea
Taste the tears
spilled and spilled again
urgent needs revealed
a call to action
And on this day, participation
the savory scent of a new day
dances on the winds
of change
International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
