Isatou Juwara Biography

Dear mother,
just now I realized
that man's stay on earth
is but limited
...

More often than not; so much often than not,
We talk about heaven; we imagine heaven,
We pray and wish; to go to heaven,
Yet funnily enough; we don't want to die,
...

My grandmother, she's so old
has no teeth
poor grandmother, once the village beauty
can hardly see
...

A man came to me
said he had something to say
and me being me
said he had the whole day
...

You groomed me and loved me
You cautioned me and wanted me
You fed me and cared for me
There's really noone like you.
...
