It Is Winter Outside... Poem by Maria C. Pires Costa

It is winter outside...
A cold atmosphere that most fear
For the scarce food, no warm clothes,
Even no home, no job, no health protection.
Towards these what is the rulers' reaction?

It is winter outside...
There is much oppression indeed
For these people's human rights
Truly are in a huge need,
And they all deserve to be freed.

It is winter outside...
Others join in to cooperate
To minimize the pain, so desperate!
He is attentive, gracious, merciful
He protects them being silent, bountiful.
