News Story: +Sangeeta Persaud, an African child, had stomach pain (most likely appendicitis). She was taken to her church where a priest used voodoo to cure her. He waited too long to take her to the hospital. Sangeeta died.
Sangeeta's Church
Sangeeta Persaud -- like mother before her
began to convulse.
Three hundred notches on the clock
weak and fluttering pulse
. .in
. . canta
. . . . tions
pat-a-pat, pat
tick-tock,
. . . tick-tock,
. . . . . . .ticking away
and that's how the church lost Sangeeta
at the end of the day.
