Withering women in a gutted Africa.
Gaunt, emaciated,
Empty, yet bloated
Ravaged and raped,
Wasted women.
Shrunken cheeks,
Empty breasts,
Broken limbs.
Broken promises.
Empty shells, Empty bellies,
Hope lies low in a
gutted Africa
Young, wasted women,
Shrunken children
Scream for the pure milk of life,
In a gutted Africa
