Simply Because Poem by Moto Wamwanga

There are, in this rotten world, three
Things that are actually the major
Sources of battles, killings and abhorrence
That nations are victim of. For
Millenium we've been dreaming how to free

The globe from war. There're three trees to kill
Then the planet earth, our world, will
Really be, I am certain, a better place
For every nation and each race
Without discrimination and difference.

Pride, egotism're the first tree that causes wars
Around the world. Some nations attest
And strongly believe that they are the best,
Better than any other nation. They can put behind bars
Any person from any nationality

Regardless their post, position, influence or necessity
They occupy, wherever in the world, that person
Is located. They confess to be untouchable and
Kill to possess the world and everything in it, land,
Minerals, sea, trees, everything, I mean everything on

It. The second bleak tree that emerges
Wars is power. Nowadays, no nation has rights
Over its lands and treasures unless it forges
Strong weapons, stands firm and fights
Like Russia, China, Cuba, Iran, North corea, Sudan...

Some nations, having power, believe to become
God. They set other nations under fire. They drop bombs
On others like in Libya, aggress others leaving tombs,
Rancor, division between tribes(see Iraq) . They ban
Countries like Zimbabwe for not being obeyed. Some

Times I really wonder whether the red blood
That I have and which streams
My veins is the same they've to be led by dreams
Of slaughtering people for them to swim in the flood
Of the blood and humiliate the bodies.


Did you see what they did with Gaddafi's rest?
It's a shame as we keep calm and we do not protest.
This is the gift of men disobeying instructions
Of the evil empire. Power pushes evil nations
To disturb our planet and always put us in tragedies.

Finally, money or the wealth could be the last
Tree that prevents the world to endlessly embrace
Peace. It is the devil's instrumental to destroy peace.
Money, let's be careful with money, can fast
Create abhorrence in the family, relationship,

Business. People'd rather kill their Friendship,
Perpetrate their entire communities and even relatives
For money, sell their countries, Mobutu did, for money.
They can maintain under poverty and blight natives.
The evil empire uses money to snatch our honey

And impose sanctions to people who don't obey
Its politics and don't follow its instruction.
What is your opinion? What do you think
About this fury of killing that every blink
Someone must die? Do you like this situation?
