File talk:BIAFRAN MADONNA 1968.jpg

The eye went back before time that you'd think it were in the public domain. Yet they insist on accusing me of trespass... "Biafran Madonna" bears her scornful solitude in the stiff- medieval posture of resignation that nothing more could reach her - her child lies dead in her arms. All that is left of grief is the armored defiance of a mourning mother condemning betrayal by those profiting from war.'
