“WHY DO YOU KILL ME?”

You took up arms to look for me
You look for me as one group
You changed your minds and have factions
You planned to miscarriage me
Why do you kill me?
–
You used civil population to support you
You promised them for better future
You recruited young people for war hoping that the future belongs to them.
You decided to finish them before the future
Why do you kill me?
–
You took twenty one years to have me
You received me with joy at my birth
You stopped developing me and developed yourselves
You used the resources for my growth for your benefits
Why do you kill me?
–
You conventional visions that dent pluralism
You turned patriotism into antagonism
You changed jingoism into ethnicity
You scratched what to lead to lead nothing
Why do you kill me?
–
You exposed my occupants to be laughed at
You exposed them to dreadful life conditions
You valued war than education and development
You provided weapons rather than pens
Why do you kill me?
–
Weapons flows into civilians hands like river Nile
Blood flows every roadside like water
Ethnic egos echo like thunderstorm
Trust tried its ways in vain
Killer kills like cholera and Ebola
Why do you kill me?
