Found in Translation

I thought I had some odd jobs before I worked with the tree people
Did not think work could get stranger 
There are certain statistics that are easy to collect that no one has interest
We talked every week until we had work

The office emptied and filled out of the wood work
The older women showed up so we talked
The younger women started to drive
They would come yell at me cause I would let them

She said she did not ask for all these hardships
I told her no one made her come 
Harun was better than a translator he reminded her "ha"
That was the noise she made he was there

In Kakuma they tell stories
Oppression builds community
