BAD CHILD"

BY JOHN HENRIK CLARKE
I am a strange child.
In a strange land;
The West is neither my
Home nor my haven.
My music is the "tom-tom"
Not the saxophone,
You may root me here
In this alien soil,
But I will not grow.
I may never go back to
The East, where 1 belong;
But 1 will forever nurse the de-
sire.
In the hours when I am alone,
III turn my pagan face toward
The East, and cry.
