Global Poverty

Global poverty is a very sensitive issue.Poverty is a disease created by people themselves.I am talking about that kind of poverty where people have no food,no shelter and no clothes.They look for food from dust bins and drink drain water but they do not die so fast and keep on producing more poor people on this earth.

These people do not believe in doing work for food or clothes or for shelter but keep cursing their destiny and God.
