Bamishaye David Poems
Youth awake!
Awake from your daydreaming
Your floral heritage is sinking
The white horses are bleeding
...
We are co-authors of our misfortune
We hired he-goats to guard our yams
The tremendous hunger at home is strong
The child cried for food
...
Let this rain wash her miserable yore
Like Naaman in the Jordan river
Let this pen cure her hemorrhage
Of the centuries and nail her sin to cross.
...
The Best Poem Of Bamishaye David
Youth Awake!
Youth awake!
Awake from your daydreaming
Your floral heritage is sinking
The white horses are bleeding
The leaders are staggering
Drowning in the sea of confusion
Awake!
For dreaming now is risky!
Youth awake!
Pain becomes a daily bread
Tears become a ceaseless rain
Hunger became a national cake
Awake!
For dreaming now is late!
Youth awake!
Bury the hatchet of yesterday
Fix your fragment bones
Quench the flames of your
Mother's tongue
Awake!
The world is not young again!
Youth awake!
Rise above the misery of ages
Rise above the promises
Of men with deep pockets—
Rise today and save the glory
Of your menacing land.
