Let Me Tell You My Story Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

My story is about humanity at war
My story is a book made of tears
My story is stitched together under the blanket of sorrow
My story is about the brutality of man
My story details the horrors of war
My story is about bullets piercing flesh
My story is about broken families
My story is about dead corpses littering the streets
My story is tormented by blood from innocent children
My story is about thirst, hunger and death
My story is about mental torture and nightmares
My story is about you and me looking away
My story is a sad chapter in the history of mankind
My story is not new
My story is a call to action
My story is a plea
My story is your story and their story
