For the time that just passed,
we have barely managed to survive.
T'he resources are just not available,
and our financial support has just taken a dive.
We live in homes of straw,
in the sweltering heat that could kill us all.
Water that comes from the river,
is warm from spring to fall.
During the season of rain,
it is almost like God's gfft.
Although it lasts for several weeks,
to our spirits it gives such a lift.
That is because when it doesn't rain,
there is usually a drought with such heat.
On some days when it is clear and dry,
we use a magnifying lens to cook meat!
The lens was given to us from the government,
who try their hardest to give the least.
Most of the aid money is corrupted,
as we starve, the politicians feast.
A few days ago my country tested,
bombs of absolute power.
They showed the world their strength and might,
but suddenly we hadn't the money to even shower.
Several countries imposed sanctions,
hurting the people that you never see.
These people are my people,
they're my friends, family and me.
I have neither food nor potable water,
as the politicians of this country just boast.
No one is taking a closer look,
where the population and damage is the most.
My children are five and seven,
and they too yeam for something to eat.
They run around trying to have fun,
wearing nothing at all on their feet.
While others in this country,
live as well as a king.
have homes decorated beautifully,
and in their yards they may have a spring.
My husband has become very ill,
and has been in bed for a few weeks.
I think it might be either the heat or stress,
but it has made him very meek.
Others and I are suffering a lot from this action,
and that is a known fact.
All because this nation suffered from,
An Overlooked Act. |
