To Dibaba with Love,

A bony creature

Skeletons almost visible

Carrying the scars

Of a historical agony 

Suppressed, exploited for years

Descending from the

Land of Great Haile Selassie

The Messiah

She runs over tracks

The countdown begins

15 laps to go..

14 laps to go..

13 laps to go..

Still,

Thousands of laps to go

Go “Baby faced Destroyer”

Destroy all those baby faced destroyers

Ultimately she wins

Go girl

Carry this flag

Show the world that

“We still exist”

I could not close the sluice gates of my eyes

They just flooded

Go Dibaba Go
