Crocodile Tears Poem by Babatunde Aremu
Crocodile Tears
We shed tears
Demanding for justice
Wailing for equality
We condemn autocracy
But nations lord it over nations
We condemn terrors
We detest wars
Yet we produce deadly ammunitions
We sell to the belligerents
Weapons of mass destruction
We cry aloud for unity
We sigh against oppression
Our dirge for eluded peace
Is overshadowed by our inimical acts
We see the world as one
Yet we promote race superiority
We say God is the same
But we practice bigotry
We cry daily for world order
But more blocs are created
Why cry for what we don't want?
Why these crocodile tears?
Thanks for this poem which reflects the author's seeming despair about the ironies and contradictions in people's convictions, a poem which tells the sad truth as it is. Thanks for sharing and I hope that this may awaken minds for common reflection.
