Adi Baren, Akeleguzay, Eritrea, 1996
Who are these women?
 
Back from hauling water.
 
These beasts of burden.
 
Who are these women?
 
Burning under the hot sun.
 
Eves from Adi Baren.
 
Nylon and shifon to wear.
 
Plastic shoes to wear.
 
Jerry cans full of water.
 
Life is a little gayer.
 
All Amenities of plastic ware.
 
They trudge on in single file.
 
Oblivious of the revolution.
 
Which promised liberation.
 
From double oppression.
 
Or is it triple oppression?
