they promised food and aid,
sent it down even in the smallest of band-aids.
these things though have yet to reach
the people who in agony endlessly beseech.
medicine, food, clothes, what they needed most
and those in power fully responded with a-
yes
and a- “no”.
in their thinking, always racist and flawed
they decided to send guns then gauze.
they say barking soldiers will bring order-
(the same ones with post traumatic stress disorder?)
that’s what they say but the truth may differ
because beneath a disciplined military exterior
feelings of hatred and superiority still simmer.
beneath the promise of food and aid
the chess of imperialism is still being played.
