    THE TIME (Zimbabwe)

    Misdeeds abounding,
    All mixed and mixed;
    Dead men, dying women,
    Hungry kids, skinny babes.

    The tyrant in power,
    All mixed and mixed;
    Red blood, white blood,
    Thin flesh, limp bones.

    And
    We who live wait and wait
    While poverty renders us madmen.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
