He said...


                     He Said...



On a cool Sunday evening
Sitting in the verandah of my house
The breeze soothed me without end
And Mr. Anopheles asked to be my friend

This is what he said:
That the children are hungry
Starved by a cruel world
That seeks to destroy their kind

That the wife is mad
Crazed with a bloodthirsty obsession
To feed her dear children

That he was lonely and scared,
Humming melodies of friendship and doom
Searching for who will listen


This is what he said:
That the children are hungry
Their mother is mad
And malaria looms…at large
