Vita:乏

Parts

乏 1215 destitution
- ⼂ * drop of (a drop of, drop, eye-dropper)
- 之 1214 building blocks (of)

I think of those in a state of destitution - they lack the building blocks of society that would make their lives liveable, and it would only take a drop of help to get them back on their feet. Now I feel like Sally Struthers or something.
