With wide and big eyes
Bigger than biggest electric bulb
He flashes non stop no blink
With tiny hands and legs
Long and weightless like dry stick
He streches_sitting on legs_folded
With head bigger than bill board
Too heavy to carry,but manages he to
Daring not turning it up nor east
Down nor west
My eyes can see his scan
Mine_as if an x-ray
Count his ribs_I can
His heart sight I beating gently
His soul leaving behind him_slowly
Before him_lying a plate empty
Naked and crying in cold under Sun
Heat and rain
From dawn to dusk
With consoul nor help_not
For centuries
His only words are
'Help me mother Africa
For remain I your child'.
