A country far different to my own,
A world unknown.

An ancient woman sat working there,
From early in the morn,
For an amount of money I would simply cast to the stone.

Her smile so wide,
While I would hide.
The great divide so large,
Now I see what it means.

Inspired by a poor elderly cotton picker I saw on television.
