Who'll Dress Their Wounds?

They dress the wounds
of my poor people
As though they're nothing
.
Saying "peace, peace"
When there's no peace
.
.
Now can a bride forget her jewels?
Or a maid her ornaments?
Yet my people forgotten me
Days without number
.
.
And in their want
Who'll dress their wounds?
