My little brother, <br />I sympathize. <br />The hand across your nose, <br />The sniffs <br />All remind me that you <br />Behold me with tear-filled eyes. <br />But what can I do; <br />I am not liberated yet myself, <br />Can I help you? <br />It is your leaders you must look at; <br />It is they who have slapped you <br />Across the mouth, <br />Exhanged you for money; <br />Taken your share of <br />All there is. <br />I despair at you enfant - <br />Will tomorow be a better day?<br /><br />samuel nze<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/suffering-african-child/
