    My first thought with this was that it doesn't feel like a poem, more like a piece of prose detailing the scene laid out before us. However after several reads I decided that this was worthy of least an HM purely because the scene setting and the descriptions are amazing. You feel like you are standing beside this person as you read. For that I commend you and thank you for sharing this. I love the last line as well. A real message about those that command and those that follow. 4 points.

    What a great poem.

    I think it very heavily shows how falsely people idolize those who have authority or power, and how those in power, often treat those below them. Sorry for a compact review - responding from my phone, but I loved the ending to this as well.

    Noura has a gift within her writing to take you on a journey of pure brilliance in her poetry and this week she set the bar high in nominations this week.
    I was amazed at how she captured the true heartbreak of hunger, poverty, and devastation.
    The rage of politics are mixed within this piece and to me it is saying the "rich get fatter and the pour get thinner".
    It is a true outrage and Noura has elegantly expressed those thoughts and more within this piece.
    Her word usage and word display has me in awe!
    Admire this piece greatly!
