Am that dying person fighting to know what has killed me, <br /> I am that ill patient helplessly lying on a death bed <br />struggling to unearth the cause of my disease. <br />I am that bleeding woman shouting out <br />to understand why rape is a legal tool of war. <br /> Am that exhausted worker who dozes on and off <br />unable to imagine the importance of my productivity, <br />which grows day by day but leaves my wage unmoved. <br /> Am that believer, who when oppressed calls out <br />for the hand of the Christian-Muslim God but in vain. <br /> I am that low simple human being who longs to be raised <br />and made great in the name of human dignity. <br />All in all, I am who am not but should be. <br />Just who I am…<br /><br />Gicaniro Bushake<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-who-am-not-but-should-be/
