Wilkeite, in Southern Ethiopia
40 years ago they left
Their Villages
In Northern Ethiopia
Running away from famine
Little did they know
They and their children
Will be guillotined
Like Hogs
By those
Who hate
who they were
The Amaras
Like Jews during
Hitler’s regime
The Amaras
What shall I do
To shelter you
From those
Who plan to guillotined you
The Amaras
You are like Jews
Who were under gas chamber
During Hitler’s regime
O! God!
Please do not be silent
But respond
In kind

Lemlem Tsegaw, Citizen of the Earth
In Memory of Amaras, guillotined by Oromos
In Wilkeite, Ethiopia April 28, 2021
