Had Poverty Come To Stay?

It used to be a state of abundance

Wasn't that a natural human law?

Why is it now the reality of being poor? 

I seem not to understand such a stance.

From availability to scarcity, it became a thing of survival 

Didn't we help those in need with what we had?

I can't understand why helping people seem to see giving as the mistake of being fatal.

Since abundance was the natural human law, poverty was unknowingly orchestrated behind the shadows of recognition.

Why didn't we get to know the machination?

I see why it's more of a artificial construct to demote humanity's easily-available entities of material identification.

Each generation carrying over the deficits of battled poverty to the other, with worsening consequences .
How do we break the chains of poverty to avoid lossing humanity's senses?
It's a puzzle I've been attempting to work out through my lenses.

It appears poverty has come to stay.

Are we saying there is no glimmer of hope to kick out the planners of poverty out of the way?

We really need to have our say!

Poverty  plants the seed of complacency in the mind of weak people.

Can we see the position of the eye's wool?

We need to have our say by embracing self-sufficiency as the real tool.
