BY KFLEEYESUS ABEBE
Isn’t enough for the dark and black?
Isn’t enough for depressing and sadness?
How long the passvity persist?
How long the negativity go on?
Shouldn’t the mounring be over?
In the darkenss, there was also coldeness
Being downhearted, numb, hopelessness
That season should now be over
Let brightness take hold
Gray, black life should be no more
Take off the black garment
Can’t wear it for eternity
Let by gones be gones
Let it shine so we see different color
It is now turning yellow and bright
On the door knocking the New Year
To guide us, to give us energy,
to fill our heart with warmth, provide hope
The season of beauty, yellow daisies,
the “Adeye Abeba” bring joy
So like daisies we shall start afresh
It is Ethiopian New Year say “Enkutatash”
Carry banquet of them, make resoultion
For peace, love and abundance
For the yellow, it is happiness
For the yellow, we wish harmony
For its freshness, we start anew
It is Ethiopian New Year say “Enkutatash”
To the land seasons truly change
From rain, cold to a warm weather
But to the land trap by history
To the land which hasn’t lived afull
Send wishes carrying yellow daisies
Say let this be real, let this be yellow
Let the yellow herald hope
Let the daisies signal new beginning
For the old, for the black, grey
We had enough We are exhausted,
The Ethiopian Herald September 10/2022
