Baba,

Very sincere thanks for this deeply perceptive peom.  I am not adept to
interpreting peotry but i feel a sense of melancholy about many things
after having the privilege of reading this beautiful peom of yours.  Thanks
once again and keep that pen of yours rolling.  Now i have an idea why i
cry.

Best,

Mboge
