Make Poverty History.

So many people don't know,
how lucky they are to have a life.
So many people don't know,
what makes poor people sigh.

They think their life is so bad,
becuase they don't have the latest phone.
They should be grateful,
to have a place to call home.

Some people go for days,
without shelter, water and food.
Most people would die without those things.
or they'd just sit there and brood.

But there are people,
that see poor peoples pain.
they made something called 'Make Poverty History'
and gave those people a life, like being reborn again.
