"Poverty is a hellish state to be in.

It is no virtue.

It is a crime.

To be poor is

to be hungry without possible hope of food;

to be sick without hope of medicine;

to be tired and sleepy without a place to lay one's head;

to be naked without the hope of clothing;

to be despised and comfortless.

To be poor is to be a fit subject for crime and hell." - Marcus Garvey.
