Poverty....

...is no respecter of race, color, or religion. It has extraordinarily wide variations in terms of breadth and depth. It can be relatively minor, requiring nothing more than some degree of personal adjustment, or it can be deadly; a heartless destroyer. For some it is a fleeting, temporary condition. For others it is a generational norm, revealed only at a sufficient age of awareness. It can be a reflection of a tragic mindset or harsh images of seemingly inescapable realities.  It is a description of one's situation, not by definition an assessment of one's character. In its lesser forms, sincere love can help smooth its rough edges. In its extreme forms, it is absolutely unnecessary and must be brought to an end.
