In the Midst of Hardship (Form5)

At dawn they returnedhome

their soaky clothes torn
and approached the stove
their limbs marked by scratches
Their legsfullof wounds
but on their brows
there was not a sign of despair
The whole day and night just passed
they had to brave the horrendous flood
in thewaterall the time
between bloated carcasses
and tiny chips oftreebarks
desperately looking for their sons
albino buffalo that was never found

There were born amidst hardship

and grew up without a sigh or a complaint
now they are in the kitchen,making
jokes while rolling their cigarette leaves

I WONDER (Form 2)

wonder why the grass is green,

And why the wind is never seen?
Who taught the birds to build a nest,
And told the trees to take a rest?
O, when the moon is not quite round,
Where can the missing bit be found?
Who lights the stars, when they blow out,
And makes the lightning flash about?
Who paints the rainbow in the sky,
And hangs the fluffy clouds so high?
Why is it now, do you suppose,
That Dad wont tell me, if he knows?
