War

We pleaded for our lives They showed us what death is In our presence… Our sisters were raped Our mothers molested Our soon to be wives Deflowered in our korokoro eyes Despite our muscles We were rendered incapacitated They don’t care about our emotions Thinking we are as heatless as they A shout earned us slaps Our loved ones were killed Right in our presence Our women forced to practice lesbianism In the name of pleasure At their leisure Our city turned to village Our roads coloured with our fathers’ bloods We became boyfriends of deflowered and raped girlfriends All in the mighty name of war! Now answer me! Why war! Why do we have to fight each other? Answer me! Why do we have to kill to satisfy? Make others sad to be happy Why do we? Say no to war! Say no to conflicts! Say no to killing! And let there be peace! ABSOL - 07032277508

Oluwasola, the trouble with war is that it does not kill off the right prople.
