A Message To War Combatants
A MESSAGE TO WAR COMBATANTS.
Nzongi N. Mwero.
Cell phone +254727254534.
A punishment by fire,
Should not behove anyone,
The adversary should not be burnt alive,
No attack to a wounded soldier,
Or a journalist,
Or a soldier who is not fit for the fight.
No prisoner should be out to the gun,
No one should be tied to be killed,
No one should beheaded,
Or mutilate the corpse of the enemy
Stop showing horrible videos of the dead.
Let the dead or injured be taken
By their fellow comrades,
No captivity their throat shown cut,
Or any live body parts mutilation.
Booty of war from the battle ground,
Consists of wealth and provisions,
Never pillage or plunder,
Or destroy residential areas,
Or harm the property of anyone not in war.
No guilty of breach of the faith,
Prohibit the breach of treaties,
Settle the terms of the treaty,
Never show unparalleled examples,
And respect the settlement,
Not deeply touched grieved by the past,
Move forward and think about the future.
