Who will play with the African boy who whistles sad and solemn tunes?
Who will play with the African boy who is caught stealing stale bread every other week?
Who will play with the African boy who dreams of standing on the mountain peak?
Who will play with the African boy who has no rhymes and riddles but stories of the wars?
Who will play with the African boy orphaned by AIDS?
Who will play with the African boy who drinks from the cattle’s trough?
Who will play with the African boy who grows only in pain and grief?
Who will play with the African boy who will die of malaria soon?
