Under the tough exterior lies a lot of pain.
Neanderthals deserted by civilization
Denied dignity, leading to
Endemic violence
Raw emotions rise in the strife for survival.
Bridges to progress burnt by
Endless years of rebellion.
Lift them out of it,
Love them for their grit,
Years move to centuries, unabated.
