The smell
Of bad combinations
That stench
Of putrid repugnance
The sight
Of helpless victims
That vision
Of destitute life
The taste
Of starvation incarnate
That flavor
Of cold-hearted intentions
The touch
Of an icy little finger
That connection
Of unspeakable proportions
The thought
Of surviving through this hell
That dream
Of erasing all despair
The sound
Of crushed and broken voices
That echo
Of riches that could have helped.
