In the brown Moroccan village the color of sand In layers of dust and despair
The child stands on a stick of a leg
Wrapped in white cloth
She will speak, begging for Dirham
I see this tiny girl and do nothing
I want to pay for her good health
Soon she will be veiled
Ready for picking
Never ready for brown babies
Who will tear her young flesh
Demanding care she cannot give
