Kenya

A Father’s watching his so die of malnutrition

He is bloated
He is sick
He needs medical help
He needs a friend
He needs a hope
Why does he have to go?
In America this is not tolerated
Why is it here?
Why not an American boy?
Why my son?
Why?
These things are not my fault
I seek new employment tomorrow to get more money
To save him
If it’s not to late
But it is and he must go
Even if it was my choice
But it’s not

to save him i think is the best line of the poem. you should say this would not be tolerated in canada instead of america
