      on some goth shit
      meditating in the graveyard
      tarring up my lungs while
      i'm walking down the boulevard
      sad little white boy
      crying, thinks his life's hard
      you don't know pain,
      there's a genocide in Myanmar
      people get their throats slit
      believing in the "wrong" god
      you had a girl make you high
      and you fell hard
      families are dying
      and you want to be a rockstar
      so why you taking drugs?
      what you trying to get numb for?

      i just want a life that
      might be worth waking up for
      share my music with my
      friends and maybe do an encore
      invite some people over, get
      some liquor that forever pours
      their lessons or their lesions,
      ask them all about their open sores
      sixtysevenhundred people
      either shot or burned alive
      you're dreaming of a good girl
      that you could probably call a wife
      this is how real loss looks
      this is real strife
      you drew a bath of henny
      and you want to take a deep dive

      on some goth shit
      looking out through your red eyes
      shades always on like
      a blanket to hide behind
      bleeding out, wounded
      at the first try at real life
      how does this shit balance,
      do you think you deserve to cry?
      praying for a goddess, "i
      pray you'll come and cleanse me"
      a nation full of people
      down the barrel of a cleansing
      Jekyll and I'm hiding in
      and out of all my draining
      should i even feel like this?
      there's no way it's the same thing.

      Summary

      A look at the situation of Rohingya women living in Bangladeshi refugee camps, with a focus on health, medicine, and education.

      Extracts


      Before coming to a refugee camp in Cox's Bazar, Rashida had never seen a foreigner.

      [...] the biggest shock she had was when a community health worker suspected Rashida was pregnant again and took her to the clinic for an examination.

      "What I found out that day was that you can stop having babies if you want to," she says. "I had never heard of family planning."

      Rashida has since thought hard and discussed this with her husband. Their shelter is cramped, and their future uncertain.

      "Three children is a nice family size," she says. "After that, I don't want any more. What I want is to learn something. When we go back home I'd like to be able to work, not just look after children."


      Bakoko [a midwife from Uganda] teaches new mothers how to wrap babies and put on nappies. She examines pregnant women to check for signs of eclampsia, the biggest threat to pregnant women's lives. And she teaches women to check for multiple pregnancies, and to care for women before and after they give birth. She has saved numerous lives.
