My eyes have seen
A tree with roots in the sky
Branches in the soil
And flowers in the roots

My eyes have seen
A woman impregnated by her new born baby
A ****** *******
A blind tour guide

My eyes have seen
A buffalo gazing in the desert
A lion hurting in the ocean
A monkey breast-feeding a snake
A tiger helping the zebra cross the road
A crocodile offering a mouth full of water to a thirsty calf

My eyes have seen
The moon in the day
The sun in the night
The lunar and solar eclipse simultaneously
The full brightness of the stars in the day

My eyes have seen
A leader cutting the throat of his
surrogates
And being praise for paying so much for their burials
All these I have seen in my nation

My eyes have seen
My mouth has sang the song of sorrow
My eyes have rained the tears of agony
And my legs were left to dance in the pool of my tears
And my pen dancing in the pool of it ink

My eyes have seen
I need to drink from the chatting well to forget what my eyes have seen
