Question 10(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points)
Mimic the Devil by Mawi Asgedom

While some chumps revel, mimicking the devil,
and redefining his level
While they mock their gifts, and ignore the rifts,
between self and misfits
On another hemisphere, and sometimes near,
life means fear
Not of passing classes, hallway passes,
or chasing lasses
But of lack of water, mindless slaughter,
and sell my daughter
35% AIDS rate, an unwavering fate,
salvation too late
No money for pills, no blankets for chills,
no remedy for ills
Just a dream
That amidst the muck,
life won't always suck
