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
.

Reviewed on August 13, 2025
An all too sad and common story poem.

Back in Haile Selassiei's day in 1965, he sent many to the United States and some to my university in Wisconsin where I was studying to get an American education.

One night, I drove six of these very tall fellows in my 1957 De Soto with lots of legroom out to Pete's Pine Point Lodge where they could dance to the Beatles with American girls and then catch a ride home from me or someone else.

In 1961, Pete's Pine Point Lodge what is boycotted by the University students in favor of Alcatraz when they denied black football and basketball players from Milwaukee and Chicago attending school.

Stabbing Pencey Boudreaux by Mary Lynn Plaisance

A poignant story about letting go of a narcissist in your life. Have you ever been attacked FULL force by a narcissist? It's the closest thing to being stabbed over and over in the back.
