Crisis Overcome

An advantage in being poor?

Ask men or women
why each never left?
During the bad times
the sad times?

Reason is?
They had nowhere...
else to go?
Could not afford
to go?
Truth be known?

Sometimes things
come clean in wash.
Sometimes.

It’s easier to go than to stay?
Pain is so intense.
Sometimes. Pain hurts. Horribly. Mutates. Mutilates.
