Sous le choc
la liberté entachée
se renforce…
une rivière d’encre
irrigue chaque parcelle
in shock
the freedom tainted
gets stronger…
a river of ink
irrigates each plot

It is wonderful Kathabela, that with your love and compassion you are reaching out and bringing together poets from other lands and countries .
From now on- traveler.
Not where are you from,
Only, where are you going?
And, the one sharing the road,
Your mother & father.
Brother- the other name for bread.
