Culpable (Original)

La voz inocente de un niño,
es culpable de la muerte,
culpable del odio de los verdugos
de la ausencia de su ciudad.

Culpable que entierren
su voz para siempre
ante el silencio cómplice
de la indiferencia.

Dirán que la bala
atravesó su cuerpo,
atravesó su alma
y desgarró su corazón.

Una vez más
culparan a su madre,
a su hermano
a sus amigos.

Y al final,
los vasallos
encerrados en la ignominia
del delito
culparan al niño saharaui,
de su propia muerte.

GUILTY
A poem dedicated to Nayem El Garhi
(Translation)

The innocent voice of a boy,
guilty of the death,
guilty of hatred of the criminals,
of the absence of their city.

Guilty that they bury
his voice forever
with accomplice silence
of indifference.

They say that the bullet
pierced his body,
pierced his soul
and tore apart his heart.

Once more
They blame his mother,
his brother
his friends.

And at the end,
the mercenaries,
locked in ignominy
of their crime,
blame the Saharawi child
for his own death.

Ali Salem Iselmu is a Saharui poet and writer born in 1970 in Villa Cisneros (Western Sahara) and has a degree in journalism by the University of Santiago de Cuba . He lives presently in Spain .
