When still a child
I learned that plantation colony was belonging
to my father, the one who brought my mother
from the Dutch East Indies,
and the one whom he loved full in rage.
I was a small *****, beautiful, fat, and disabled,
helping her as far as the porch
along its edge where I now walk
what silence reigns among them!
I remember when slavery in Suriname was abolished
by the Netherlands in 1863, but my mother
was not fully released her love toward my father
until I grew as a star,
and I remember, back there, in Paramaribo,
along the its outskirt where I now walk
what silence reigns among them!
Still I remember.

A Surinase Issue
The social on women's issue
in Suriname continues burning the feet of many
drifting over the power of men and marriage
in the fake promises of castes
as if the moral cannot fall in equal in this piece land of Surinam
and have a player in the forest.
What is the problerm and please don't tell me
you are a virgin landing from heaven
knowing the slavery flows gently in your veins
do not exist or having eaten the sweet rose?
Upon the issues on the shore, I am quite sure,
many fishes shall die along the kinship
lighting by dry breasts,
I find myself thinking of a new socialization
where the same snake will have her own voice.

Over the narrow coastal zone,
where my sweetheart lives,
I am able to see the forest covered by the rain of May,
and it lies the treasure of kisses y stream,
the most fine flow of happiness.
My sweetheart and I take turn in watching such beauties,
which flows everywhere,
digging up days and nights, as we dig our hands
into the lovely day
and we find it so sexy and rewarded,
nothing else is so peaceful in South America Suriname.
