Among the burlap landscapes of anguish
Muted expressions of starving babes
Need being the worst malady, yearning for wish...
Experiences so young, unhappy, should not be
Suffering war torn, fatherless, deathly empty.
Tourists whilst on safari from far away lands
Yelp and twitter, unyielding to the giant, travesty.

Ignorance is a selfie taken in the bush
Not a care to feel akin to human or witness, see
The child so thin with disease, is you, is me...
