Letter to the Man of My Heart
Sally Riak, South Sudanese Poet, Social Activist and Medical Student
By Sally Riak, Juba, South Sudan
I speak for the 100,
I run for about 12times,
I clap for 64 children.
Have you ever thought of a new name,
Changing parental name to dust,
And you loss 64lives.
Or keeping it but you can’t protect it.
Anyway who cares yet,
1,000,000 credit comes back to you.
I get to produce every year.
Thought I was left with 12more kids,
But 100 more to go you say.
Can anyone define labour,
Or nine month with no rest,
Produces intelligence to vine
And never see class.
My body is very weak
I wish I could let you know,
How much birth control methods are important,
Its not that I don’t want to increase our family linage,
But the voices of the ones who didn’t see hospitals to grave are not giving me rest.
Let’s produce quality not dirt.
