Perceived Beauty

Poverty brings a different view

The sea recedes for a few hours.

Local families pick rocks washed close to shallow shores.

Cleaning their bounty before filling 50-kilo bags,

to sell for food to fill their stomachs this day.

Tomorrow is another day by the beautiful seashore.

Some eat, some starve by their own choice, others starve without having a choice. I am one of those.

I am sorry you are one of the hungry. No reason for hunger in this day and age. Thank you for stopping by.

The sea gives us much, food, beauty, inspiration even, but what this piece says most to me is about the people and how they perceive it. Some frolic, some watch, some earn their crust by it, and some see the story behind those people, like you in these words. Great piece.

[Willard Wells]

thank you for seeing the depth of the piece and the survival which is daily for them.

[Lorry]

Some will do anything for food...others go on welfare. Valentine

No welfare here. Sink or swim. Every day is how to find food. Thanks for you comments.
