Gone...not forgotten

Sky,
Green trees,
Rich, dark earth,
Ravaged by war.
Sorrowful people,
Lives, homes, and dreams destroyed,
Defeated and destitute,
Still defiant and oh, so proud.
The sobbing figure falls to her knees,
Hands digging desperately in stingy ground...

Finally finding small dirty tuber,
Formerly disdained, now, sweet treasure.
Starvation at bay, she stands tall,
Proudly defiant once more.
Head high, fist raised, she vows
With God as witness,
"I will never...
be hungry...
again!"
Bold!
