Martin Luther King Speech~Poverty

 

              Would you just stand there and watch a poor innocent child die because they don't have the necessities of life? Would you just stand there and see helpless adults try and keep their children alive through the winter without success? Just because you don't see this, doesn't mean this horrid matter isn't there! We need to get up and do something productive about this sad matter of poverty!

 

               Look at Africa, for instance. They don't even have the luxury of having clean, fresh water. Us, U.S. citizens take this for granted every single day, and the number of emaciated children has risen a terribly sad amount in the past decade! Coming back to the United States, we don't provide a lot of opportunities to get the homeless into a better state, either. For one to get a good wage, you have to have an address. People that are homeless obviously do not have an address. Our economy isn't doing well either, that's probably another reason for a large percentage of people getting laid off. When people get laid off, a lot of people start to loose their houses' and end up on the street because there not making any kind of income. This, then, increases the number of people living in poverty.

 

               Yes, poverty is a VERY depressing matter that has left thousands, even millions, of people on the street, worldwide, begging for food and money. Make sure you think about the hungry, and scared little children that don't even know if they'll even get enough food to keep themselves alive. You never know, your brother, your sister, or even your own children could be the next to end up in poverty!

Poor Little Kids!
