The other world

There exists a world

Beyond our own

Where crumbs of bread

Are worth more than gold

Where lives are at the mercy

Of mosquito nets,
Not car crashes

Where hope and despair
Coexist like brothers,

Where brothers coexist

In despair, and in hope

Where poverty has not taken 

The dignity of young folks
And mothers still aspire

Where our world ceases to grow

Theirs thrives endlessly.
