On the Moon of Rwanda
It begins as a melt
On the Moon of Rwanda
It ends on the Delta of Civilisation

Premium Member Rwanda African Sunset
Rwanda’s African sunset is pulsing with charm
The sun glides away in her entirety here
Waving goodbye to a lone Baobab tree
Could it ever get any prettier? Probably not....

Free-wheeling Through Africa
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....

Over the Swamps
Over  swamps, across Rwanda hills
above great Lake Victoria waves
over tropical forests of Africa
my heart flies with undying hope
to meet my sweet heart in teens
lying somewhere waiting, eager
for  greatest love battles ahead...

DEATH OF HUMANITY
why humanity 
has no place in the hearts of 
many world leaders? 

as the government 
of USA, UK & France are behind
Rwanda to kill folks

in DRCongo daily.
Yoh ! stealing  some mineral
resources for them.

international 
community remains calm 
yoh! this world is hell.

Repetition of Moves
Genocide
Happens more often than 
we would like to think 
The Holocaust, Rwanda, Cambodia
and the Armenian holocaust 
to mention a few
Why can't we get along?  
I realize that even as I write 
these words 
bombs are falling on civilians
and children
"When will they ever learn"...

Never Again
When 6 million Jews died
You said never again

Yet it happened again, again and again
The genocide in Rwanda
You watched

Ethnic cleansing in Bosnia 
You waited

Till the worst was over
Then slowly waded in

Now Rohingya and you close your eyes
Do you remember you said never again?...

Listening To Rwanda Genocide
In your azure eyes
I was teaching myself:
how to drown. What a nodal  
agency to receive the award.

The ailing moon 
will not come to my rescue.
The seized cloud had failed
to cry –

embarrassing the sidewalks. An
unfathomable legend.
A bloated name becomes the
mother of rapes.  

At stake were all the crutches.
The tribal stain had a stark
reality. The basic instinct,
walks home to stand on the mount of bones.

Why Must I Die
Why must I Die
Today I see babies born
Just to be torn and killed.
Thousands of young and old 
Yelling why must I die.
I did nothing wrong.
Is it hate or is it joy 
They don't know the fate.
Rwanda 's genocide killing all those that stand.
Swing clubs and machetes. Cutting them all down.
But they don't know why i must die they think.
The blood rolls in the streets. 
Who can stop it we want to know
Peace is the answer not the dope....
