My Country Is Hungry

My family is gone, i'm alone

the emptiness

I can't do this anymore.

I'm hungry, desperate

just sitting on the floor.

Where do I go now?

They come in, as I allow

They take me with them,

will I escape this mayhem?

I miss them, I miss them so much

Where is my brother today?

Everything in my head is gray.

Everyone is getting killed

and it feels as if there is no way out.

My country is hungry.

I am hungry

We are starving

cravings rise

stuck in all these lies.

Will he ever die?

It's sad to see my people like this

they're crying,

hoping to see light once again,

they're dying.

But remember, be strong, mi querida Venezuela.

Author's Note

Please help spread the word, the dictatorship in Venezuela is causing hundreds of innocent deaths due to lack of medicine, food, water and peace.

Venezuela is no longer a country with a government, institutions and a civil society. It’s a geographic area terrorized by a criminal enterprise that pretends to govern, with a civil society made up of two sets of people: accomplices and victims. The vast natural resources in Venezuela, which include one of the biggest oil reserves in the world, should make it an extremely profitable society, but those resources are instead used to directly profit the people in the authoritarian regime. Your poignantly expressed composition highlights the plight many in Venezuela must endure – a sad but true write. I can only join you in prayer that one day salvation will arise. Yo oración por ti y otros en tu tierra mi amigo - Dios te bendiga!
