A shot on the
tv
a
mass of children
half naked
tattered clothes
blowing in the wind
the
ground below is muddy
and their feet can't be seen
through the caked on
dirt
the well
the towns source of water
is not much better
a sea of brown
with a line
of
children drinking,
that's been their
only food for a week
and someone changes the channel
"Those
money mongers"
he spits in disgust
as I
ponder it in my mind
how dare I
hate my life
when I've
seen
the likes
of
that?
