Blood Tana Poem by JAY EMM

Darkness covers the Delta
as the wind blows Northwards
wind billows
dust drugs eyes
they cannot see beyond

meanwhile, hooting
blasting and explosions
guns fly wildly
and bullets
pierce human flesh

curfews curtail escapades
with bangs and slams
doors disintegrate

thunders roar
rumbling
men in spotted garments
from house to house
untidy rooms
of shriveled victims
in hot pursuit of masked sadists

more blasts
more oozes
as clashes heighten
doubling the trouble
the victims joining hands
with the sadists in slaughtering
human kind

when darkness covers the Delta
matchetted invaders
sworn to retaliate
gain control
survival
for the luckiest.
