Wh World

When do we say we are happy?
When all our allies are happy?
When do we say we are peaceful?
When the Alshabab, the ISIS,
When the radical groups are peaceful.
When do we say we have conquered?
Not when our soldiers are rested to lay,
When our people lie to rest.
When do we think our leaders are lazy?
Not when Tiinga is only lazy,
But rather reasoning.
When shall our dead lie in peace?
When we ignore anniversaries,
When we stop depending on them.
