Hello! Here we are and we have a message do deliver.We would like to ask the gentlemen at the EU / Africa Summit in Lisbon not to forget us.
We would like to know whether it is possible for them to sell one or two palaces so that we could have something to eat!
We have not hurt anybody!
Why do they treat us so bad?
We are not slaves anymore.
But our leaders told us that the “pale faces” were the bad guys…
We are not bound to trees anymore just like their grandparents were, but we are very ill treated…
What hurts us most is the world’s carelessness.
We are just kids… we are not demanding… we just wished we were not left to slowly die!
Why don’t countries that have enough to eat talk to those in our governments, that actually live like kings, and tell them no to kill us like that.
After all it had nothing to do with our skin complexion that the whites killed us… it is all about the human heart which is mean.
Further to that, not only the white people from other countries pass up rescuing us but also host the mean guys that have lots of food and a bed of roses…
Is it possible that in the white people’s world, where you get fed everyday, it is bad to be good?
Look at our bodies! You know the excruciating pain we endure!
Why have you forgotten us?
We have been told you had a very mate called Jesus that asked you not to hurt others. Was it him who told you to hurt us?
If only we could meet him! Who knows if he would feed us… Is he also attending the Summit?
Maybe, if you told us where he lives… ah, well, it must be far, far away!
Please, come and help us. Bring along the Summit’s leftovers. There must be lots of food left.
Did the Summit’s lords eat everyday?
The water used to wash the paths they crossed would be plenty enough for us to survive.
The carpets for them to walk on would be enough to provide a rug for each one of us to sleep.
Why do we lack what other kids have… are those kids also white like you? If they were black like us would you starve them to death?
Our mothers are also dying.
In our land only the government leaders eat…
Do not forget us! If you are far away come to us… we do not have means to pay you back …
But if you help us we will surely have a big hug for you…
We do not need much. You just have to tell those gentlemen you are patting so eagerly that we are hungry.
We are dying everyday! Of thirst and starvation! We are ill, very ill!
Please come, come as fast as you can!
