Left Behind Poem by Klaren Madaka

In the wake of war, suffering is everywhere. Orphans cry, widows mourn, and widowers struggle to find hope.Little faces stare, hollow and sad. Their eyes filled with fear, their hearts filled with dread. The future looks bleak, with no parents to guide. An orphan's life is filled with pain and sorrow inside.With no parents to love and no home to call their own. The orphans wander through the streets, feeling lost and alone. They search for a place to belong, a place to call their own. But all they find is cold and hunger, as the days go on and on. Their hearts ache for a family, for someone to call their own. But as the days go by, they learn to be strong, and to stand on their own.
