Volles Banda Poems

With the very little energy left in their bodies
The old men drag their sticks
Yes, the sticks more exhausted than their bones
To the torturing heat they succumb
...

The harsh police brutality
To test putting the humanity
Bringing lots of tears
Throughout the years
...

Like a volcano
Warm emotions erupt from my heart
As my body cells feel the rhythm
Of the great beating of the drums
...

With no nurse or midwife
You took your first breath
On this suffering earth
And in the cold blowing wind
...
