Asmara: A Knowledge is Infinite
but a handmade is finite
Of course, Asmara is Asmara.
With creative energy of Eritreans
Some comparable and even more
Magnificent edifices along side
Colonial architectures
Can be built deliberately.
For example, building a new State Palace
Reflecting our indigenous architectural style
As opposed to Colonial Palace
With Roman and Doric columns (Hellenistic).
This is just to raise the peak experiences
Or to exceed expectation
Of our incoming generations
Beyond the framework
Of Italian mental faculty.
In short, my assertion
Is more "psychological"
Than mere tangible artifacts.
As the saying goes:
The hand is the servant of the brain.
The Italian legacy left us its remains
But not science and intellectual prowess
By denying our forebears
Access to higher education.
For knowledge is power.
Our future security in this volatile
region depends in that order.
