It's about poeple who struggle to survive while thier lands are stripped away and her (sic.) resources siphoned. I recently
read the lyrics to a song which I think most clearly defines my piece: '...So take a good look at my face, You'll see my smile
looks out of place, Look even closer it's (sic.) easy to trace, The track (sic.) of my tears." A. Donis
