Plateau Massacre In Poetry by jerrydelight(m): 11:32am On Jun 25, 2018 |
The land has had it face, caressed by what it has not experienced for such a long time; Blood flowing like a river. And it delicate body will soon be broken up For a purpose it has not known for long; Mass Grave. The sky has been made to see What naturally should be hidden from it; Brain tissue splateted all over Intestines hanging out.... The swam of flies are smelling What they have not smelt for long; The scent of open of corpses Like a feast prepared for them. The health centers are overwhelmed With patients they 've not seen for long Bearing various degrees of injuries In various parts of their body. And what is the cause of all this? Some crazy herdsmen considers The survival of their animals Of more important than humans Thus going about with reckless abandon Destroying human means of survival. And all their grand patron could do Is to tell the people to give up their rich farmlands. A sheer act of cowardice Attacking in the dead night Lynching the innocent deep their sleep With securities at watch. There is a cry out of the land of plateau, Not a cry for justice nor peace Nor by those this evil have seen It is a cry from the blood shed for an even blood shed. Those whose loved ones were massacred, Are wishing for an opportunity to get even. Wounds that has been trying to heal Has been torn again with salt added. Winter is coming, the wind is already blowing Carrying the rumors far and wide. There is great fear of what it brings. #Pray_For_Plateau. #Plateau_Mourns. Ehi J. 1 Like |
