My comments

I was extremely honoured to be selected as one of the several winners, and it's great to know that my poem is being used to help boost awareness what is such an important cause.

Loan sharks are very evil people who exist solely to prey on the vulnerable, therefore, the more awareness there is that there is help out there, and how to find that help the better. 

The poem was written to be spoken aloud, as one of the prizes was it being recorded in audio format and released. The audio recording and the press release are available at the link above.

And while there do please check out their website, even if it is just to know that they exist, the reason being one day perhaps your knowledge of the existence of illegal money lending team and what they can do for those being extorted by loan sharks will help you save a life.
