Su'eddie
Agema
An Anthem of Pain
When the first bullet whizzed
We knew not what name it bore
Nor its tribe
A foreigner
The indifferent metal struck
Telling others
In words not heard
That language—
Not a finger—
pulled the trigger
Or was that a man’s voice
Heard on the radio
Saying in words clear
That one must be
Or that one tongue be?
Clashes
Captured in flashes
Slowly draw pictures
Eyes can’t deny
Skeletons and rotten flesh
Sounds heard in one language
Shared by all
The language of pain
Shouting more, More! MORE!!!...
Stalemate soon came
With an Exile
United deaths
Unifying first
The best
Laid to rest
From the East to the West
Head zones:
All our own.
We came back together
Bringing all
And understanding one language
We all share
Yea, the language of pain
No gain
But unity sang in tongue
Yea, the song
Of pain.
The Rights
The rights?
You killed it in the fights
Oh! There was no fight?
Oh. Yes, You simply smashed us with your might
The child sucking at a breast
Had his soul fiercely laid to rest,
Milk all he sought
A bullet was what he got
But forget the rhymes
Of red that kills our total green. Punish the
crime
Of the elephants and cattle trampling on us
Destroy this flowing evil at its source
Then, one remembers the rot of the total Force –
Protectors? May we never live in that Jos
We shall rise, never to fall
And once more be the peace, AMEN, of all.
