Poverty

"One of two children in the world lived in poverty".

Today, in the Blog Action Day, blogger all over the world united to posting one theme poverty.

Poverty is the problem and the global as a popular issue.
Poverty in connection with life miserable/suffering resulting from lack of money, lack of wealth, lack of food and no access to safe drinking water, lives on just a few dollars a day, no money to buy house or vehicle, no money to buy clothes, even sometimes no food available.
Less access to health. There were no money to take medicine if being sick. if they were sick, they only prayed and were waiting the hour of the death.
Poverty also was linked to science. Less access to education because deprivation of opportunities to learn. Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names, wasn't it?
And the terrible poverty but no people realize them is moral/religion poverty.

Poverty is an economic and social illness that infected not only poor countries, but also rich countries.

In Indonesia, especially in Makassar, poverty is still becoming one of popular issue in the governor's and the mayor's election campaign.

Poverty increasingly improved resulting from the rise in FUEL OIL some
time age that had an impact on the rise in the price of the common necessities.
Poverty also parallel to the increase in inflation.

The increase in the gap between the rich and poor increasingly made severe poverty for poor people and the rich people increasingly rich, even so between the rich countries and the poor/developing countries that was caused
by modern capitalism, and that's worrying, precisely the willingness to give help from the rich countries such as the United States was not balanced with the increasing of poverty rate, because the United States more emphasized the aspect of politics compared with alleviation efforts of poverty.
Look, countries that had been helped by America like Egypt, Israel, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, all of them carried a political issue.

Despite, the main factor the cause of poverty that struck various parts of the world at this moment are the economics and politics factor, but many people did not realize that the religious/moral factor took part in
playing an important role.
Most people have forgotten to the Lord and no longer followed their religious instruction well.
The religion still could not prevented people from corruption.
How much money of the country that was corrupt by the "hoodlums" who wanted to enrich themselves?

Imagined! if money was corrupted used for alleviation of poverty programs.

According to the UN data, every day the number of people die of hunger or hunger-related causes about 25,000-30,000 people (most of them are children), that is equivalent with 1 person died every 3.5 seconds.

In fact, plenty of food in this world.
The problem is that there was the person that really rich, his dog's food was more expensive than human food, while having the person that severe poor, and so dog leftovers were not available.

Apparently did not hope to left poverty for the poor person, because its like an "devil cycle". They lack the money to buy enough food to nourish themselves. They become weaker and often sick. Makes them less able to work to fulfill their lack, which make them increasingly poor hungrier and finally died.

My message, let's war on poverty, let's helped others, beginning to our family, our neighbour, our village.
Eliminate few of our money to help them who were poor.
If you have food/waste food could not be finished, gave to the poor people.
Let's war on corruption, because of corruption increasingly the poverty rate, that should the money could be used to help poor people.
