Eighty Suitcases

When an error’s been made who’s to be blamed /

In a world geared to protect time and speed /

When eighty suitcases remain unclaimed? //

I am poet Lokshtanov here named /

I write of injustice, intolerance indeed /

When an error’s been made who’s to be blamed? //

No man is safe when one is wrongly framed

But desire for revenge is angrily agreed

When eighty suitcases remain unclaimed.

I grieve over life and families maimed

On Reconciliation’s bone I feed

When an error’s been made who’s to be blamed?

What conclusion have nations proclaimed

Will bonds of peace and broken hearts lead

When eighty suitcases remain unclaimed?

As a human I stand, sit ashamed

From blast of terror I cannot be freed

When an error’s been made who’s to be blamed

When eighty suitcases remain unclaimed?
