Poverty and the perils associated present catastrophic dangers to people in all regions of the world. Nas, in the song, “The Ghetto” by The Game discusses the global impact of poverty and the catastrophic effect it has on people when he writes, “It be jam-packed in front of the stoops in Siberia/ Same way they are in the middle of Nigeria/ Every part of the whole world, there's an area/ That, if you're poor, another day alive is a miracle” (9-12). “Jam-packed” alludes to the overpopulation problem often associated with poverty, which consequently forces impoverished people to be succumbed to overcrowded and unsafe living conditions. The phrase “jam-packed” illustrates an image of poverty in which people are stuffed into a home like sardines
