What other kind of 'poor' did you think i meant? When I say starving... i bloody mean starving. You are not so poor that you cannot afford the essentials. That is where I draw the grey swath of poverty: when you are poor to the point that you cannot afford the essentials yourself! If you have a baby in this instance: you are ruining both your life, and likely the baby's life.
And this happens in not only third world countries... but also in places like America.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
