17 Days

*******

The woman was Reshma Begum

Seamstress on the second floor

When it all came down it had only just begun

Woman had enough for more

She lay in rain water trying not to drown   

For 17 Days woman banged, screamed out

Had something inside to live breathed though a pipe

After 16 Days they must have had their doubts

All the bodies round were geting ripe

Alone with thoughts and she can hear the scouts

For giving up she's not the type

One must have faith, she did and so do they

LIFE will always find a Way
