AFTER A DAY OF UNREST
© Farouk Asvat
for the children of Palestine &
Azania
Mamma,
If your child is not
home
You will find her
At the police station
Mamma,
If he is not there
You will find her
At police headquarters
Mamma,
If she is not there
You will find him
At the local clinic
Mamma,
If he is not there
You will find her
At the hospital
Mamma,
If she is not there
You will find him
In exile
Mamma,
If he is not there
You will find her
At the mortuary
Mamma,
If she is not there
You will find him
In the cemetery
Mamma,
If he is not there
You will find
She is disappeared
Mamma,
If you cannot find
them
You will find them
In a mass grave
