My Heart Grieves For You

 

beloved country

birthplace

poets    dreamers

lovers of the world

who look out

to reach beyond the poverty

the stench of war

though I only remember you

through the eyes of an infant

that innocence

that thirst

for mother country

the wars, the hurricanes, the earthquakes

may Design have mercy on you
