The first time
I left the country
I thought I was a savior
serving the happiest
people I’d ever met
with my Christian charity
assuming they needed
my help to fix
problems created by Christian
men, Manifest Destiny
centuries of peasantry still
struggling under elite rule
as if my
babysitting money could solve
circumstances I couldn’t understand
