The Northeast Wind. Poem by Tony Adah

The northeast wind
Is blowing and with it
Some guns and bombs
Every day the war
Rages on with the wind
And for an absurd creed
Humanity is lost upon the earth.

Man against man
And woman against a nation
In selfish suicide bombs
That maim and kill
Brother and sister
Sister and mother
And mother and father
Leaving my nation's
An orphan to the world.

The habitations are desolate
Smoke rising from the inferno
That have turned them into ruins
Religion a pace-setter
Now leads the way
With its pangs of death.
