In the depths of despair, where dreams seem to drown,
Unemployment's grip pulls hopes further down.
A hungry wave crashes, relentless and dire,
Eroding away the essence of life's fire.

Empty stomachs ache, hollow and loud,
As the pangs of hunger form a shroud.
In the realm of poverty's stark embrace,
Dignity falters, leaving no trace.

Discrimination's shadow looms overhead,
Casting darkness where equity should tread.
Jobs scarce, opportunities faint,
Leaving marginalized voices to silently faint.

Yet within this storm, a glimmer survives,
Resilience thrives, though it strives.
Communities unite, hearts intertwine,
Kindness and empathy begin to shine.

In the midst of adversity's cruel wave,
Compassion and aid stretch out to save.
Hope persists, a beacon so bright,
Guiding souls through the darkest night.

So let us stand, hand in hand,
Against the tides that desolate the land.
For in unity's strength, we shall find
The power to leave no one behind.
