May God Bless them

    DUST
    Dedicated to the Lost Children of Zimbabwe


    Twelve years old
    Will I eat today
    See tomorrow
    Depends on Gold

    Dust

    Panned in hunger
    Grandmother is old
    Will she eat today
    Depends on me

    Dust

    Panned in vain
    Will I go to school
    Find two Dollar fee
    Depends on Gold

    Dust

    Eluding me
    Panning for life
    Panning for Hope
    Panning for

    Dust

    Still my favourite. It is a shame that the things that often touch us most are founded upon the tragedy of others.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
