Unforgiving World.....

The tired and the hungry
the broken and the poor
shattered...all but scattered
a home without a door

South of the equator
exploited and ignored
squatters live in squalor
engrossed in civil war

Socially maladjusted
cruel dictators heavy hand
forcing many across their borders
beyond their birthing lands

Parents weep,their children cry
knowing these little ones must rely
but try as they try,and try as they must
unforgiving world,for them turned to dust......
