Analysis of I am little
Emese Faltinschi 1987 (Zalau)
I am little,
still within
there´s a rise
of Force in me;
I am little,
and you know,
world has made me
grow too old.
I am little,
but my force,
is the weakness
of others.
I am little,
though inside,
there’s a Giant
by my side.
I am little,
and you know,
yet you keep
a closen door...
I am little,
the game is scorce,
now you tell me,
who gave me force?!
I am little
and you know,
yet you watch me
like a show.
I am little,
but Human,
as I carry
my Faith on.

About this poem
I was watching a photo, with a little poor child, carrying huge plastic bags around his waste and shoulders, bare foot; one image-in a million words...or a poem.
