Father Of Many Poem by Zyw Zywa
Father Of Many
O sweet promise! I am childless
yet blessed forever
and threatened with eradication
of my descendants
if they become disobedient
and keep their foreskin
In the darkest nights
of my doubts, I lie down
on a warm stone under the stars
to see how innumerable
people will be born
I dream of one great nation
but my son is a wild ass
who fights against all
and all fight against him
