Emerald Wendal Poems

Come and take a bath, they say,
Hurry along, don't clog the way.
I leave my shoes, so they won't get wet.
I cover myself from those I've not met.
...

Look out your window what do you see?
I see hunger and starvation looking at me.
Why can I see it? I know I couldn't before.
I thought people dying was legend and lore.
...

If it were you, you'd be abhorred.
What a dreadful feeling, to be ignored.
Invisible to everyone, crying on the inside.
Holding this feeling, a load I can't abide.
...
