"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.

Tone of the poor

By Wenne Madyt Dengs (A poet and Journalist)

My life lies under my armpit

I have emaciated because of no emancipation

I cry and nothing carries my alarm

I am a soldier who has no wife

I am a student without pen and books

I am a farmer without land and seeds to sow

I live a lifeless life

Neither do I breathe nor do I bathe

 –

I have no shape to shelter

I recline on the street like dust

I am blind

I am deaf and even dumped

 –

My heart is full of grievances

I don’t have any secret about my future

Everything is dull

I can imagine my image
