Poetry

---

The cries of the children,
of the mothers, fathers
all who have lost so much
this nation, lying in ruin
where there was such loss before

Out of this rubble
survivors rising,
one world coming to their aid
Hope is in the joining
the responding together
in this there is hope

A poor, impoverished nation
struggling just to survive
May this crisis focus attention
give more than aid;
a real chance at life
