Floating for Life
Amanuel Biedemariam
Should I die in mourning?
Die with the dead and dying
Perish with the perished
Stop breathing and lay rested
Should I live with the living…
Live for the rested, perished
Am I alive or dead…
Like the rose bud
Yanked from its root
To temporarily stay afloat
Yet, dead yanked from its root
Like the roses, flower
Clipped for décor, glitter or, honor
Yet
dead, but fooled to life by water
Alive in a picture, yet alive
Yes alive, living and will live
For we must!
In memory of Yonas Andebrhan
and all that perished
