I hate poverty. It offends me.
I think about this when taking walks with Ryu, reading the news, talking to people. It ruins people. Poverty covers everything it touches in a flammable residue. Poverty is combustible. It ruins lives. Tears apart families. It creates, and exacerbates, social unrest. Poverty touches most aspects of this family that merit attention. The ‘big’ news of our shared story. Divorce, abuse, education, mental health, addiction, alienation. These things sprung out from or took root in poverty.
I fucking hate poverty.
