Reason 18

Because of when

You've been walking

For what feels like days

Weeks

Months

Years

But is actually

Hours

And you stop

And you sit

And you think.


And you think

Of aunt

And uncle

And cousins

Enjoying life

Elsewhere.


And you feel so

So

Angry.


But not at aunt

And uncle

And cousins.

Not any more.


Now you feel angry

At the fact that there are places to go.

Places where people

Aren't poor

Aren't thirsty

Aren't trekking through a dead land.


Places where people

Don't

Care.


Don't

Care

That their life

Their electricity

Their convenience

Kills

Your 

Life.


Because of when

You feel even angrier

Because

There are people who do care

Do think

Do know 

Do speak

Do act


But everybody else

Doesn't

Listen.
