In this project we are doing I needed to do some kind of writing and get it put out to our peers and well I thought I would post this on tumblr. This poem is to bring to a brighter light wealth inequality and how it will effect our future.

Women in Poverty

Women young and old

Felt the pain of poverty.

Some survived living a simple life,

others barely hanging by a string.

The Great Depression,

A hard time for many,

Shown the worth of a woman,

working to keep her family fed

because her husband lost his job

in steel, rubber or chemicals.

placing unwanted stresses on the women's plate

Women in high places

have fun on their money.

While ones in poverty

buy nothing for themselves

only thinking of their families.

Hoping that one day the trickle down effect

will work for them.

So that one day they could have nice things

or even a house to live in of their own.

Now times are strange

and the future is inevitable

but one things for sure

if things stay this way

those women in poverty

will stay in poverty

With all their stresses

and added new ones that the future brings

No one is quite sure what will happen

but if things go on like they are now,
