IF YOU ASK ME WHO I AM

By Armando Guebuza, Mozambique

“If you ask me

Who I am

I will tell you nothing.

I will tell you nothing.

I’ll show you the scars of centuries

Which furrow my black back

I’ll look at you with eyes of hatred

Shot red with blood

Shed through the years...

I’ll tell you nothing

But you will know why I fight.”
