like in Ethiopia

I've never seen so much poverty

so much elegance

so much beauty

such gracious walks

so many warm & responsive eyes

so many blind & deaf

so much dust

so many perfect hair-styles

such wonderful climate

so little bushes and trees

so many people walking

beside each other

hugging & holding hands

so many people dieing of AIDS

so many heads turning towards

the church - praying

whenever they pass one

so many perfectly white shirts

so few old people

so many people with crutches

so many hands greeting each other

such thin cats

and friendly babies

like in Ethiopia
