poverty T-Shirt

Real poverty is terrible. It's terrifying. A lot of people say they are poor, but they really aren't. The media would have us believe it does not exist. It does. I am really poor, but I have resources a lot of people in my income bracket don't have. A good education, a sense of humour, friends, all help me cope. The middle class really doesn't understand poverty. NPR did an excellent series on this topic several months ago. The tendency is to blame, find fault. That attitude doesn't help at all. For months I was really stuck. There was nothing I could do. I don't really want to go into detail about this, but it was almost as if I just had to wait out time.
