Operation Rescue

Operation rescue!
Emergency; assemble
Location; everywhere but Africa
Method; swooping

Active MDG one
Any pang of hunger
Shrunken from lack of abundance
Boldly promenading the sub-Saharan
Swoop on target
Roger!

Extinguish MDG two
Lookout for dangling sickles
Not the object that they strike
These ferocious beasts can’t be spared
Swoop on them harder
Roger!

Affection MDG three
The little ones and women
Whose strength and voices lost
Resuscitate them all
First, clear them out of the danger zone
Roger!

Spontaneous MDG four
Wipe out every disease
Especially the one called AIDS
He looks wiry, sometimes robust
Fizzle him out and leave no spare
Roger!

Team Millennium Development Goals
Keep to instructions
Work in close contact
Take no prisoner
And spare no target
Copy that sir!

 Reviews of "Operation Rescue"
Reviewed by Richard Orey
Reviewed on September 11, 2007
Richard, I admire the mechanics of your presentation in Operation Rescue which lifts me off the page of ignorance and social neglect and galvanizes my intent into live-wire dynamics.

Because of this poem and your posted article on Millennium Development Goals adopted by all 191 United Nations members, Authorsden writers and readers will benefit from raised awareness and sensitivity to the struggles of African peoples and countries to raise their standard of living, to reduce widespread poverty, to make bold advances in eliminating hunger and disease and in reducing the alarming childbirth and childhood death rates.

But the results of the organized effort are not uniform. Vast pockets of substandards still need focused attention and contructive help.

For this poem and your companion article posted here at your Authorsden site, I salute you for your great service to such an urgent and worthwhile cause.

Richard
