Poetry – Among the Phosphate Mines

Among the Phosphate Mines

Arid plains, rocky terrain,

Trees in straight lines,

Sanitised brains, driven insane,

Among the phosphate mines.

It seems that most of the world’s phosphate comes from Morocco. It grows apricots and olives. It has oil too.

It makes you wonder why all the people are so poor.

Where’s the money going?
