Atapara of old


I long for you
The Atapara that I never knew
Peaceful land and people
At ease among beautiful boulders and trees
If I could but momentarily experience you
Listen to your legends
Herd you cattle
And till your cassava farms
Then I would be at peace

 The Atapara that today I see
So chagrins the soul in me
Divided
Torn apart by stupid jealousies
It stabs itself in the heart

I am lost
A soldier without a post
In a land of ghosts
I have no home
For the quest for money and fame
Has left me
 Internally displaced
