Shivers. That's what I get reading this. This is BEYOND powerful. This is what moves me and I hope others read. I haven't been through this. I haven't seen the poverty, the violence, the destruction. I fear my own ignorance, if that makes sense? That I live in a first world country and often turn away from my brothers and sisters because it takes commitment to make a change and acknowledge the other parts/sides of life that we have never experienced.

Thank you for sharing your voice and heart. Continue to do so.

This is a very strong write of the plight of the people in Africa
and its saddening that this atrocity and its evilness is always hidden
from the media or controlled.

God; why is this terror? Is it a snare to
heaven or a pit to hell?
The effortless of death-dealing is as pig
drench in sludge.
Lord; discern the dreadful lamentation of your
descendant.

^^This stanza tugged at my heart. There is pain there is death, yet
it seems like God is blind or is not doing anything! I can feel that pain
where helplessness seems to drain and wipe the people's soul..

Touching write and I pray that this plight is been read and people
become aware of what is happening in order to help....take care

A very powerful and raw piece of poetry.
Welcome to the site,

Ben

Reading your poetry is like looking at an art piece in a gallery, you are drawn to it, and you keep returning to it, and you get something new and deep from it each time.
Then when time goes by, you find yourself remembering that poet you like that reminded you of fine art.
Well done my friend.
