I know the pain of staying home not working.
I know the pain of seeing things falling apart.
I know the pain of thinking about the next meal.
I know the pain of seeing your friends prosper and you are stuck in one place.
I know the pain of being poor.
I know the pain of being the laughing stock.
I know the pain of having nothing in your bank account.
I know the pain of borrowing and begging.
I know the pain of wearing the same clothes over and over.
I know the pain of being a burden to your family and friends.
I know the pain of having thoughts about suicide.
I know the pain of waking up everyday and hunting for a job.
Brothers and sisters I know it is hard
But let us be strong
Because at the end of the tunnel there is light.
