Isaac Maliya (4th December / The People's Country! Where People Laugh From Their Hearts!)
What Wrong Have I Done?
Lines of venom on your brow
Is there a never-ending row?
What wrong have I done?
Your eyes laden with rage
Terror confines me in a cage
What wrong have I done?
Your silent attacks in frenzy
But I take you as a heartily friend
What wrong have I done?
The question for a book
Always, I get is a but
I am blameless, faultless
What wrong have I done?
Dedication: To Ayrton Jorge Braimo, caught between two worlds!
