What do I call you?
Third world, Deprived world or Primitive world?
All the worlds I know are called names like Asia, America, Europa and Australia
When my world is pointed on the map it's all about men and women without food and clothing
When my world is mentioned it's all about civil wars and hungry women and children
When the world news is telecast and broadcast it's all about
pandemics of disease-causing death to plants and animals
Then the winds of the worst times register their havoc on the lands causing earthquakes and floods
Don't speak of political instability or economic degradation
The leaders in my world are never affected by any of the hardships of our world
They live on the skins of our hard labour
There is nothing on our land that is not sold by our leaders
They promise good living for us to ascend the seat only to enrich and impoverished the poor and vulnerable
The minority in authority are living well in impunity these are the causes of the ruins of my world
The greed and selfishness of our leaders are cancer that is deteriorating our world
