Anthem Written On War by faboadetimothy(m): 6:16pm On Mar 11, 2016 |
They see their brothers' blood In the street flowing like Noah flood Cakes from the auto birds Make their story analysts' mirth Day in day out shells are dropped And slowly their number is cropped. Beautifully they are caged in camps Receiving daily meals with stamps They are far away from their lands Which are being cared for by the bands Who never like pianos, drums but bombs To the melodious cries they are dumbs. In cold, on shaft they knock doors Begging to remould the entering laws On the floor they drop their pride To unknown norms they are to abide While their heritages are being pillaged In their various restive native villages. At homes are their brethren's bones Whose clothes are burnt by drones, On these flies have a glorious feast Praying for more cakes from sky beasts. To these woes we wobbly tend And out of sight is a near possible end. Timothy Faboade |
