War Poem by Felix Otiende

WAR
It was the other day we played and laughed together
From nowhere air force's jet flew above us
Before I knew it Papa was running towards me

Yes! I saw the angel of death with my eyes
Papa was shot while holding my hand
His blood washed my face
'Papa wake up' I begged in futility
He was the only bloodline that I was acquainted to

Now l have no place to call home
No family, never imagined of war
Our peace is now swam of bees
And love I knew is bullets and bombs

In my heart a mark of eternity exists
It smells blood everywhere and still he is crying for more blood
The sky has been dark for days, I can't differentiate between day and night
I won't forgive my leaders and never bother myself with politics
