We Are Still Living

scorching sun
burning the skin of
our bodies
here
in the tropics

dehydrated
and broken in spirit

ah, no one cares
and so we
must care and move on
to his
harsh journey

ah, we live
that is good enough for us!

we are still here
that is gift enough

live, sing and dance
no matter what

that is good enough for us!
