"poor, - as in no money?

broke, - as in no money or the spirit has been beaten?

struggling, - as in no money or trying to find abode, food etc. without money?

starving, - because of no money or too many people so there is not enough food to go around?

desperate… - because of no money or sensibility went out the window?

and armed" - ah, but money for munitions. Of course. It is all clear now. "I am mad as hell and am not going to take it anymore!!!" So take that!

May the power of money be with you;)
