Poverty
By Manifa McLean (Electrical Maintenance)
By Manifa McLean (Electrical Maintenance)
She cried deep down inside hugging her priceless treasure. Begging to be free of hunger, she stands helplessly and hopelessly on the busy sidewalk. In torn and worn clothes, her voice faded and shaking as a leaf on a limb, she made her gestures with hope in mind.
“Lady, lady mi a beg yuh $50 fi buy food fi me an mi baby”. She stood there wanting help to come her way but nothing and no one came through for her.
Black Woman And Child
By Quewayne Jones (Electrical Maintenance)
Her beautiful face, full of smiles and cheerfulness, is usually what is seen first when you encounter her. However today her smile is upside down and her usually sparkling eyes are now teary. Her baby is sick and the treatment is expensive. She cries because she doesn’t know what to do. She went to the health center and told the doctor her story but he had no sympathy for this black woman and child. As her tears run down her face and her baby lay in her arms, she hopes that mother nature will intervene and bring her baby back to good health.
