A Little Poem

M-A-M-B-U-L-A-O

Miners’ haven where gold’s aplenty,

Among its mountains, shallow creeks and bay

More than ever it will be our cradle

Beyond this life when things are over;

Ultimate is the love that my heart could offer,

Longer than the world, longer than my song,

Alas! Oh Alas! The culprits are here

One day soon, Mother, I’ll banish them all
