Unrepentant We Shall Wage Unjust Fight Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

Allowing a wall
Before their rational
Tthinking stand,
Inured to their heinous deed
Of every brand,
From head to toe
Involved in corruption grand,
Also while fellow citizens
Gasp for air,
Not giving an ounce of care,
Barefacedly they dare
Unjust war to declare!
"Valorous, wiping you out
We shall make the land bare! "

"Chained, cruel and corrupt
Honest - thieves and cut-throats
Us, to court you took
To punish us by the book
Such a move by hook or crook
We shall abort
Haven't it dawned on you the import?
- the select few
From the palace to port
As autocracy is our wont,
And zone of comfort
If stripped of this right
For us it will not be all right!

Though finger countered,
We hail from an ethnic group,
Marked brave
And which we could mobilize,
As our selfishness and brutality
It seems oblivious to realize.

Though during our hay days
Its plight we failed to mollify
Massaging its ego
The call for unjust war
We shall amplify
Unrepentant,
We should
Wage a fight.

Though some of us
Are on the run,
As blood is thicker than water,
With the credulous
That fight for us
Emerge victorious we can.
To reinstate
Rule of the gun
On which
The international
Community
Has put a ban.


But
"To flee pang-of-conscience
How fast be the pace?
No needit is no where in place"
