DEATH WALK
Shadows walk before them dragging belongings
with the dusty desert which leaves no foot prints
there feet are raw from walking, from bleeding
their hearts focus on the location far off, there is help!
Shadows forging blood steps with crying babies and...
hunger so ravenous they eat anything which moves
these once proud people now reduced to nothing, reduced to...
the salt of the earth die on this road to help, to this penetrating
watering hole so far off where help is but a stand off until death
Shadows festering along the death road where cattle lay dead and dying
their livelihood gone, along with the water, the babies still cry out
tent town there is help, a little food, the babies still cry in stagnation
while doctors hold dead babies in their arms, the mother's walk away...
They have other children who are dying of hunger, who need burying!
