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!
