A civil war in South Sudan.
This mother of five is
hiding in the swamps,
feeding her children with water lilies
until the next shipment of grains
is airdropped.
They are the lucky ones.
Elsewhere,
aid workers are kidnapped for
ransom.
Relief agencies
unable to reach
those in need.
A manmade disaster.
I grab my car keys, heading to PetSmart.
Cat food this week
30% off.
