i watched today, as unicef came, and asked to speak with my parents, i hid away as the adults conversed, and sat back down to dinner, their conversation was abrupt, halted by a shut door, and an exhale of annoyance, their rant stuck to me, and I thought, as they complained, -at least they're trying.

trying is more than doing nothing which, of course, is ironic and slightly hypocritical
