Best Rwanda Poems

Before the blast in April's darkened sky. . .  
before the electrifying surge of insurgency -
when trucks and tanks were used to block the roads, and
when men and even boys were sought to aid in one malicious purpose. . .
before the rampant slaughter -...

On the Moon of Rwanda
It ends on the Delta of Civilisation

Rwanda


And man will fight with murder and destruction
When peace and negotiation can go no further
Heaven shed many tears; to see that man
Does not even try to find peace if he can

For man has turned against each other
Heaven is full of sadness; and brother against brother
Humanity...

One day, i will fly to the most beautifull hills
where all will be as green as natural
where the wind will run through my face
in a welcoming hymn just to put me at ease

i will sit in the sand looking to the sky 
the one full...

They mere-go-round in 
fermented anger
like an underground tormented 
ghost

wondering in fomented 
questions 
why are they kept under?

To undergo a wonder test

because the thunder why

performed by western *****'s

In the mist of this

In 1957, there existed a plan
To rid Rwanda of the Tutsi clan
Power they had, too much for one side
The foundation for, future Genocide
 
1960, the monarchy was gone
Will both sides sing the same song
Sadly not as the persecutions start
Ripping this African country apart

The sun glides away in her entirety here
Waving goodbye to a lone Baobab tree
Could it ever get any prettier? Probably not....

unfathomable legend.
A bloated name becomes the
mother of rapes.  

At stake...

Beauty, they say, comes with time
Even scars fade, and what was once ugly
Now seems fine.  
Though torn and shattered years ago
Rwanda, like a new moon
Glows with a quiet, radiant light.

Yet, if you listen closely
You can still hear the echoes—  
The haunting cries of...

Just climb onto the back of my Harley
And we shall ride to the songs of Bob Marley,
   In no time at all
   We'll be in Senegal,
Though I might stop for lunch in Kigali....
