They Sowed Guns Poem by Babatunde Aremu

They Sowed Guns

Rating: 5.0


Yes, they sowed guns
Into the belly of the world
Deep down into hinterlands
Just for their economic gains
Yes, they sold guns to terrorists
Their movies is awashed
With arts of shoot-at-sight
They glorified the guns
Making it attractive to all
Now innocent bloods are shed
At homes, schools, streets
All over is terror
Now peace is a stranger
Becase of their sowed guns
Yet they preached peace to us
Where is peace when guns
Are sown like sweet potatoes?

where is the peace pinned, in the valley of guns and mines, some one's meat need someone's blood, let the mines not be sowed in our ground. a wonderful concept! war ridden countries have the most number amputees in the world!
