Rwanda
Rwanda
by Steven Taylor
One of the most egregious charges
Is that we're sending you
To save money. It's ridiculous.
It's going to cost a fortune.
We're sending you to Rwanda
Because we despise you. Not
Just your poverty and background
But your awful desperation.
It's ugly. Unseemly.
Drowning yourselves
Solves nothing. Go to Russia
They might have you
