I need a glass cup of water, To quenched my thirst From the trap of war. You discuss about career When armoured carriers Rummage through my community All I need is a glass of water To kill the taste of blood By sanctifying lives to have a life.

This tattered leaves shrink as it grows with lulling children and sullen faced adults. Who curse you O beloved country? Many impersonates truth but clone with linings of fraud incorporated with deceit and corruption perfumes. How come your masses worn silence garments? Can't you see them holding ethnic drums and songs? Parading the potholes of poverty on unoccupied street. How come many can't conceived the bluff of gold and grains of nature? Instead blood flows the land like honey squash with grapes faces buttered like a seasoning river, bandits and cultist marauds the street with flute to lull many to timely rest. Your son's rebels for self-aggrandizement hearts are indoctrinated by religion and money rituals Who have stripe your cloak of peace and progress? O a new heritage plausible in kaftan and deltan clothing Copyright 2019 by Martin Ijir
