We
the swell bellied children
the hollow drum,
spiral eyed,
bony ribbed
boys and girls
spitting out flies -
sucking in
nothing
from breasts
empty of hope
know
why the caged bird sings–
Our song
charred to a cinder
is their song -
tweet solidarity
-if not
the jacket wins.

Hundreds of thousands of children close to dying of hunger in Congo, UN warns
Bex Tate, frustrated with the data driven education system, recently left behind her job as a Kindergarten teacher to spend time writing and pondering life. Writing poetry helps her to try and make sense of the world...as well as giving her the chance to rant a bit!!
