My father on protests to have a child
its to plant a bed of orchards on the
walls of a volcano and pray that hell
doesn’t find them too attractive for a
bouquet son why do you longed so much
for the fire don’t you know your body
will burn like kindling I want you to
stay home your blood has traveled oceans
so that it would not be spilled you are
too alive to be a martyr and I’ve seen
enough martyrs made from boy the scene
motherland streets reduced to graveyards
banners double as tombstones and I won’t
allow you to discover your heritage by
joining the dead do not speak to me so I
do not know the words these
revolutionary songs like us refugee
children and adult bodies don’t still
mumble the lyrics in our sleep…
