• feelings of powerlessness, insignificance, frustration, and despair
• fearfulness of the future
• low health expectation
• inadequate housing
• unemployment or underemployment
• insufficient money
• poor provision for education
• a higher rate of crime
• political turmoil

if l can just make it through the next few weeks
A poverty that imprisons the spirit the ultimate poverty is spiritual

It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
