Won for the World!!
..........................................
When mountain of injustice melt-trembling,
When gazed with eyes of brave burn of valor- stern,
A victory much like an eagle in the sky is born,
With feathers gracefully tucked in wings of dignity - simply human;
A visage much like an Africa lion carved -roaring,
Self-evident above and across contours of political delineation;
Here stands Adwa a victory with a solemn herald:
Where vile of a ‘white burden’ shun through grace,
Baring decadence of contrived greatness;
Through honor for life and humility before existence,
At the altar of human resilience,
Like a lesson chiming from the ancient residence,
Of the first human step to seek meaning,
Here an African victory is won for the world.
......................
...For the victory of Adwa..
(Tariku Abas Etenesh)
