I AM I by ALI AL’AMIN MAZRUI

I Am I
They call me communist
They call me capitalist
They call me nationalist
But I am human –
Why is that not enough?
Countries set fire to themselves
While mothers grieve and weep
Children are suffering
from the words we use
to kill and destroy
River –
We stand on your bank
tears falling on us
that stream into your heart
