"From the Hills of the Rich"
by Tim Kavi
tell me
pretty one
tell me
of all
you've done
where is the
song
coming from?
where is the
wrong
coming from?
everywhere
misjustice
flows
did you know?
ten thousand
souls
in the valley
below
are screaming
are scheming
to take your
mountain house
of which
they are dreaming
they are dreaming
your armies
will crush
them
send them back
below
where all
the "non people"
go
why are they
dreaming
dreams are
the only
rest
for the
oppressed
that weren't
blessed
to be born
from where
you're seeing
you're seeing
what will
you do next?
poet's comments: this is about oppressed peoples everywhere and everywhen.
Any resemblance to what is happening in Tibet recently is coincidental.--T.K.
