Where hopes are born

BY ABOMA MERGA

In the heart of a raped woman

Who, a year later, became a mother,

Despite feeling insecure and profaned,

who shows her honest yet dishonest smile ,

to her now, 6 month old child.

Just so that to show,

what and how beautiful a smile is

and to remember what she lost.

And in that moment,

a hope that has aged more than her life,

was born.
