she came and gone
all in poverty and tears
she gains ideas
and she tries to contribute
to the development of her people

but those that feed
from the pocket of devil did not allow

children also
became rich from the well that she detest

now the war has come home

after she opened the gate of heaven
she was buried

she was exhumed
and they could find was a plate
spoon and fork all in her grave
with her bone still wet.
