Of Terrors and Men

(TO THE VICTIMS OF WAR IN MY NATIVE CAMEROON AND IN NORTHERN NIGERIA) Giants Have filled The FAR North Sweeping Bloodbathing With sophisticated Heavy weapons Connected on a Barren land Communicating As from satellites, Techniques and Outfits of The expedition They got THERE Thundering, Murdering, Raping, and Reaping The scarce Bank notes kept aside To launch our economy here. The giants are Putting up stubborn Resistance ready To dismantle, Horrify, and Offer pretexts For erecting another Benghazi or Mali, Somalia or The Sudans: Growing poverty Exile On the desert Migrations Corruption Legislations Segregations Falling soldiers Suspecting the Innocents Blackmailing The weak. Where are our White hope of The Opposition And all the experts On geopolitics? Tell us whose war Is it?

All those experts on geopolitic are sit on their ways. All this is very revolting. They provoke war on our country, killed our families and stay in peace on their land.

This is a phenomenal piece, your use of language is striking. Each word has been thought of and placed in a way which absolutely solidifies it's meaning. I like this a lot my friend and my heart goes out to those in your native Cameroon. May justice find the one's responsible for the injustices they and many others have suffered in the name of profit and the so called "free market"
