Will he see his fourth
Looking into the eyes of a starving child
Whats going through his mind. Poor child doesn't know that his country's politicians are cruel and unkind.
The child has a stomach like he's swallowed a football, except there is no nourishment in that.
His sister cries for him daily, not knowing how long he has to live. He's only 3.
Will he see his fourth?
Who knows.
Flies are better fed than him as they congregate around his eyes feasting on his tears, .nose, mouth.
He's oblivious.
Day, after day, month after month...Same old shit.
His sister is a 12yr old prostitute.
She was murdered before her 13th birthday.
Her brother , dies a month later.
Who can we believe in if country's don't believe in them.
