The Brave Souls Of Ethiopia

The Brave Souls Of Ethiopia  

by Paul  McCann 

They came from Ethiopia 

with a begging bowl 

their bodies weak from hunger 

but evolved in their soul .

The tribes they prayed 

and sang their songs 

with love in their heart

and waited for a time 

when their miracle would start .

Answer the call because 

Ethiopia’s in need ,

so many starving people 

are looking for a feed .

Ireland heard and understood 

for once they all starved too .

They donated millions and 

live aid was coming through .

Food parcels where dropped 

from Hercules planes in the sky

for the hungry people , 

who watched with tears 

in their eye ,

as soldiers came and took away all the food instead ,

and left all the hungry ones 

to bury all their dead .
