These poems were written by T, Staffer of De Birhan Media in the years 2004/5 and were published on a local newspaper in Addis Abeba. Republished here with nostaligia --------------------------------

But we all die

Yes we all die

Although created to live by

Enjoy the sweet and

Sours of life

Reaching the big

And sometimes think

All our life

But we all die

Living in wills

See what it feels

Buy a car, a house

Wear a suit

Walking with grace

Rule others

Under control , act undefeated

All our life.

But we all die

The one, the poor

Dreams, hopes and aspires

Always under, repressed,

Poverty, loath and anger

He will too…die

With the

Other

Satisfy you: desideratum

Quench you like water

Satisfy thou  from under

Just like giving you, your lust

Lust for anything

Let you acquire every bit

That you really really want

Tell me baby what is it?

It is making you cheered

All day long?

Oh please cast away my wonder

So I won’t always be

In the grove of anger

Just be ready berry

From the bottom of my heart

To let you know of desideratum

Yeah , yeah…is it not wonderful?

to watch one exalted

Unlike the gloomy days

Oh yeah!!

Oh Yeah!!
