At my tender age, empty stomach has been the watchword, nothing to feed on let alone chew. Within me are sorrows and bitterness of hunger. My destiny is sold for food, My birthright is out for bread, How wealthy I am in poverty! How loud I cry in my silence! Who will fight my stomach pain battle? Dwelling in pains of emptiness, When will my life expire? Oh Living dead of hunger! Silently I cry... Someone Is Hungry AFO-Hi GoldenArtConcept EazyPoet

WEEPING LAND Weepy land! The weeping land weeps, the bald desert, on the bald desert are brothers of two colours, changing like chameleon. Weepy land! the weeping land weeps. Secured for a life battle, hue is the problem, looking for whom to devour. Weepy land! the weeping land weeps. Devil's advocate, devilish pleasure made priority. Completely devoid of moral. Weepy land! In it, they dice Being, tricking gold to stone, Land of bad rooted root, face laughs hatred. Weepy land mourns. Babalola Israel A All  Rights Reserved
