  Congo Spirit
  by Melinda Kerr

  This little guy was living in the grounds of HEAL Africa Hospital, Goma, Congo. His spirit is great. He pretty much adopted us for the week. HEAL Africa Hospital lives and works at the coal face of the eastern Congo crisis – Goma. You may have seen it in the news, for the brief moment it curried favour with the news editors.

  Despair and a cigarette
  by Arni Katz

  Black Stone on a White Stone by César Vallejo I will die in Paris with a rainstorm, / on a day I already remember, / I will die in Paris—and I don’t shy away— / perhaps on a Thursday, as today is, in autumn. It will be Thursday, because today, Thursday, as I prose / these lines, I’ve put on my humeri in a bad mood, / and, today like never before, I’ve turned back, / with all of my road, to see myself alone.

  Despair and a mattress
  by Arni Katz

  The Laborer / / In the sizzling heat of the afternoon / Clothes drenched and shoes filled with sweat / Last nights long shift makes the body ache / In growing age when the muscle is the only strength / The will like faith growing stronger with each passing day / A disease knocking at the visceral parts of the body / Joints now like the hinges in the machine need oil / Moved in hundreds and like all others / Away from the family and the little ones memory / A letter from the home in need of money / For the doctor’s fee as education is forlorn desire / Minimum wage half robbed by the supervisor / And like a true competition in economics / Out on the metal gates a replacement is waiting / Alienated from the production of the product / Creating surplus for the consumption of the rich / His toils are in the shine of the markets in goods glittering / Unaware of the political upheaval / No care for his welfare / He has no future; his children will also work like him / The power of the muscle, will and faith / He is a laborer who if not given the job / Will go for a daily wage and sleep on the road side / Poverty is his bread, poverty his butter / Poverty that alienates / Poverty the missing link / Poverty the slogan / Poverty it said is loved by the prophets / Poverty it said is gods chosen creed / Poverty the banner / Poverty the tears / Poverty the helplessness / Poverty the consciousness / Break it free / The ordained writing on the book of fate / To bring it down / Open its pages / Remove the names / Of all the people poor / Break it free / The pages they call divine / For divinity is me / Divinity is you / For I shall write / My own destiny / On the book of fate / Up from the skies / Down to the earth / In poverty I will live / But on my own choosing / Break the bond / Of eternal slavery / Poverty / Thou art the bitterest vice Sadiqullah Khan
