POET REFLECTS ON CHILDREN IN BOTSWANA

“…Ask yourself a few inconvenient truths

Where do the children who are not yours sleep and

Do all children dream and if so

Without examples of what to reach for

Who do the unclaimed young dream of becoming

At night when the burden of truth wipes the sleep from your eyes

Allow your conscience to exact this of you…” Tjawangwa Dema
