MDG Contest: Our world and the truth Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Abayomi Michael, Nigeria May 31, 2005
Child & Youth Rights   Poetry

  

Beautiful, pleasant and perfect
It’s green, bright and dark, dry and cold
Our earth, our home, children of the third world

We are here
We have seen
We struggle to survive

Faces are drained of color
Appetite lost to hunger
We search for a new life

Gently sitting by the coast of expectation
Patiently for the ships and spices
Literacy and health to season the soul

Cry not my people, song of the authorities
We have planted the future, chant of the chamber
Our policies – plain, strategies – strong, tunes across the sea

The world is wrong
Help us feel today
We might just see 2015

Eat from our hunger
Taste our plight
Empathize don’t sympathize
