I just wonder who
is to blame for this
unfortunate difficult
stormy problems all
around us.
The situations have not
changed at all.
Those who are affected
cannot afford the high
cost of living in the country.
They are at the mercy of the
handouts given to them.
With tears in their eyes
they beg for alms daily,
they ask for help so they
can survive for another day.
The risk of staying back is
suicidal because of too much
bombardment and gunshots
and killings of the indigenes.
Women and children are not
left out.
They are the most vulnerable,
they are sick and tired,
confused and hungry,
hopeless and helpless,
with no rescue in sight for now.
Abandoned as if they are of
no use anymore.
They feel expendable and disposable.
No one seems to remember them.
They are now like the forgotten
earthen ***,
Worn out and of no use.
Remember that someday you may
end up like them.
What happened to them can happen
to anyone including you.
Offer and render whatever help that
you can to alleviate their situation.
