[hometext] => More human rights than political really, for the children who are, in some cases abducted in early youth and then forced to work in slave labour to stay alive...
[bodytext] => Choking black soot, lines lips,
Skin, clothes, Sawdust collects in dry throats, Even amongst the crevices, Of dry minds, starved of water. You can just make out the pain Too worn to rage anymore, Pain gone stale, numb. Falling in miniature spirals Millions of mini-death stars flicker, Minute in the dim lamp-light, Waltzing in and out of gaping mouths, Of faces who struggle on Not wanting more, but needing far less Misery, ransomed torture, Collapsed, heaving on a stench ridden floor, Some wait for end time, Others think it doesn't exist, We can only hope, Occasionally dream, It does.
