I confront the corpse, scrutinize the flies masticating the dead skin.
The dissipated body has been there, laying in a pool of Aid infested blood.
Millions of isolated bodies lay in the dirt of Nairobi.
Killed over war, political movements, or even gang warefare.
Killed, for fighting for clean water for their children.
Dirty streets and lakes of Nairobi.
Compared to Floridas great Northen lake, the Okeechobee.
Is paradise for the people of Kenya.

Hi Pin, sorry; late back to ya. Looks like it's been answered and help is being got. Don't want to embarrass anyone so will say no more, other than it appears to be one brave kid. Remember this is a public post here; emails might be better for some subjects ;) Commendations for caring Pin....it does matter!

Didn't think to email him, just so used to posting on here. My bad, lesson for next time. Well, it just goes to show, some have talents within them and sometimes immoral behaviour brings out the best in people. Ashame it scars them sometimes, in many ways.
