Nightmare

Read at Radio Univers, UG. 15th Jan. 07.

Would my motherland develop?
I see children nude and barefooted
Like our ancestors
Round stomach and dark faces
Would my motherland develop?
I see mothers with six-year old children
At their cozy back to market
And the classrooms are empty
Would my mother land ever develop?
I fear that which I perceive
Rulers in waste of words
And we grow worse
I see dead people
Dead souls on our lands face
Mingling with the living
With wretchedness on their face
