Asmara: A Knowledge is Infinite
 but a handmade is finite 

Of course, Asmara is Asmara. 
With creative energy of Eritreans
 Some comparable and even more
 Magnificent edifices along side 
Colonial architectures 
Can be built deliberately. 
For example, building a new State Palace 
Reflecting our indigenous architectural style
 As opposed to Colonial Palace
 With Roman and Doric columns (Hellenistic).
This is just to raise the peak experiences
 Or to exceed expectation 
Of our incoming generations 
Beyond the framework 
Of Italian mental faculty. 
In short, my assertion 
Is more "psychological"
 Than mere tangible artifacts.
As the saying goes:
 The hand is the servant of the brain. 
The Italian legacy left us its remains 
But not science and intellectual prowess
 By denying our forebears 
Access to higher education. 
For knowledge is power. 
Our future security in this volatile
 region depends in that order.
