Can't You Hear Me?!

Another agonized voice crying out to the 

desolate echo-chamber of cyberspace

wasteland begging for mercy, displaced 

soul-wounded humanity nourishing

the last shreds of hope though he

is but one of many for whom fate

has decreed no rescue to be expended

for he is doomed, his rebellious wife

by his side, his child clinging to life

in advanced malnutrition, he writes

his desperation 'help me' I have no

money, Mr. Biden and you have so

much. Cannot you hear my pleas from

the other side of the world where you

pledged to bring light out of darkness?
