Marked Poem by Edward Kofi Louis

Marked, mark, ark, red, Mark, dark, raked;
But marked by your love in the land of peace.

Cop, coop!
marked, make, made, dear, dare, read, dam, mad;

Coup, coop!
Marked, ram, am, me, ear, era, are, rake, dream;

Copy, canopy!
And, the soldiers came and took her away.

Sold, soldiers!
With the work and the words of war;

Love!
In her dreams;

Love!
In his dreams;

Krill, kill, ill!
But, where is the peace that you promised me?
