A poem by Warajor Ojulu.
Sunset Over the Anuaks: What is Left?
What is left?
When the sun goes down
What is left?
When the mist of life evaporated or dwindled
What is left?
When words turn into tears
But mother does not care-Ethiopia!
What is left?
When Daddy leaves his family
Without words but tears in his eyes;
Internally bleeding and physically drained
With little hope or no hope
What is left?
When all treasures are ruined
And a loved one is tortures, suffers and dies
What is left?
Is the land given to us by God Almighty
Was my hope in time of uncertainty
But now, the land is gone
What is left?
Is my question to the rest of the world!
