The situation is not good


IMAGE: Drawing of a tank in a rural street


The situation is not good.

In small towns, the dictators

are polishing their medals.


Wild dogs run in the streets;

among children, the rumours

of war are spreading.


And what do we have –

we who are still gazing

at our distant objective?


We have our hearts,

the capacity to love

and to be comrades.


We, who so nearly lost heart.
