History Worth Writing

HISTORY WORTH WRITING Gone are the days, However unforgettable days Of great loss of humanity, Where people were preys to others, Killed massively, Yet innocent enough not to deserve even a pinch, Eliminating one ethnic group in favor of the other, The ones being favored were the same killers(the hutu), The Tutsi was the ethnic group being eliminated, Yet innocent enough not to deserve even a pinch, May their souls rest in peace. The 1994 Genocide of Rwanda Remains history worth telling, Beyond that worth remembering, With a heart full of woes For the past experience, And went away with many innocent souls That would have played a big part In the building of their nation. Who should i blame for what happened? Is it the killers,the political leaders? I keep wondering who to blame, People's assumptions about who to to blame Would be as many as possible, But the final judgement remains in the hands of the creator GOD. The bad ideology that existed Being possessed by political leaders by then, And later spread among citizens, However specifically to the hutu Being told how bad the tutsi were, Can maybe be taken as the root cause. Given the scale of trauma caused by the genocide, Rwanda has indicated that, However thin the hope of a community can be, A hero always emerges, Although no one can dare claim, That it's now a perfect state, And no more work is needed, Rwanda has risen from ashes as a model of truth and reconciliation. Great thanks to the the heroes That emerged at moments, When Rwanda was almost perishing, And saved it from moments, That would have been life time scars to all Rwandan generations, Be it in the present or coming generations. I would like to show courtesy, To all Rwandan heroes who took a step, In saving the nation, To those who died on mission, May their souls rest in peace, Talk of the Late Gen Fred Gisa Rwigema, And many others who if listed would be countless. Not forgetting to show great gratitude, To the current President of Rwanda H.E Paul Kagame, Who has seen Rwanda come from poor roots to rich shoots, Great thanks to all heroic figures in the country. And the ruling party at large. To; The Government of Rwanda. Written By; Mutagoma Sarah
