Staggering under the burden
of more than he should carry.

The heavy load cruelly rubs his back
until it’s raw and bleeding.

He has sores on his legs, too,
so that every step is agony.

He’s desperately thirsty,
and oh so very, very tired.

.

This is his life until the day he dies –
unless someone, somewhere, is willing to help him.

Will you help ease his pain…?’
