PLz help me with the poem carpet weavers by carol rumens?
Carpet-weavers, MoroccoCarol RumensThe children are at the loom of another world.Their braids are oiled and black, their dresses bright.Their assorted heights would make a melodious chime.They watch their flickering knots like television.As the garden of Islam grows, the bench will be raised.5Then they will lace the dark-rose veins of the tree-tops.The carpet will travel in the merchant’s truck.It will be spread by the servants of the mosque.Deep and soft, it will give when heaped with prayer.The children are hard at work in the school of days.10From their fingers the colours of all-that-will-be flyand freeze into the frame of all-that-was

It is the struggle of oppressed children that work all day and so hard that there fingers are stained with their work. It is a story of oppression friend. Although the people of the temple pray over the rug they forget the children.
With Peace
