Endemic Problem 4-09
Folder:
2006 Only five years old
Mother lying on the floor
Enlarged heart complications
Quickly stealing her life away
Inside their apartment home
Pick up the telephone
Dial 911 as taught
This is an emergency
"She thought I was playing
on the phone."
Clad in shirt and tie and seated
In front of his mother’s coffin
Now six years old
Without a mother
What an endemic problem
Discounting the authority of children
