Decreasing Development - Atlas Losing Grip

Millions of people in desperate need of help

While the west provides financial support — only upkeeping

Raging civil wars.

The blind leading the clueless

Trying to pull the land out of its economic miasma

But instead of increasing development, foreign assistance

Created dependence.

Creating a lower standard

Of living, supporting their regime.

Turning their back to

The facts of cruel leadership schemes.

Grinding poverty

Amidst immense riches.

Raped and tortured civilians

Due to embezzled financial assistance
