A woman’s chin trembling,
Her face etched with fear.
Her voice calls out, cracking:
“Where’s my husband? I wish he were near.”
A girl calls out in anger:
“My brother died of kidney failure;
there was no electricity for his gear.
No one will help me, of that I am sure.”
Long has this land suffered.
It’s furrowed over with strife.
A land left unbuffered,
It’s people forced into a hidden life.
This land reeks of injustice,
Permeating its deadly fumes.
But we continue to live in bliss;
Locked in a political tomb.
They cry out desperately.
But to no avail,
We answer to their oppressors.
Let's see if anyone can figure out what this poem's talking about.lol.
love it!!
