Nothing Much Happened

Nothing much happened Nothing much happened in the north Just that some few lips were chopped Ears cut and owners forced to eat them Fingers, hands and sometimes arms Chopped with the victims put under bomb point But nothing much really happened Just a few hundreds or maybe thousand kids abducted Fully armed and forced to fight with salaries subtracted And no serious fighting, nothing much was really conducted Just to slain a few hundreds in Atiak, And a bit more elsewhere in attacks But seriously, it wasn’t anything to cause heart attacks It’s just that some parents were cooked in pots And their helpless off springs forced to eat them hot A few minds hither and thither with a few limbs flying A few returnees telling bloody stories but probably lying For we all know that nothing much happened Only that some huts were burnt and their owners roasted After all, all their property had already been looted Just as the students in schools had been uprooted But ooh, they were even given camps of residence And generally, just some tragic hysteria Coz no much blood was really shed Just a couple million barrels on count of the dead The rebels didn’t really do anything much. And neither did the government Because nothing much happened!
