Darfur by Dr. Amitabh Mitra response

This poem especially spoke to me because of the imagery I got while reading it.
Specifically: "Men women and children hang by their skin to mirages the desert burns the skull".

It made me think about how horribly malnurished a lot of the children there are, it makes you feel a great amount of sadness thinking about how they're all skin and bone and aren't able to access healthy foods to make them grow. Each word in the poem makes you feel their pain and suffreing.
The poem goes on to describe the brave-ness of the people: "daring death to open them". Yet you still feel a sense of errieness because those people in the end face death (in the poem).
I think that our country needs to work harder to help these other countries who are in great need of extra help otherwise nothing is ever going to change.
