THEME: MASSACRE

IBRAHIM YUSUF 

TITLE: UNTITLED

Because of Mass Massacre:

world loses sanctity,

sane world turns mad,

white world turns red

for the humans blood it bleeds.

Perfect world turns flawed,

beautiful world turns ugly,

word's smell turns putrid.

Life's value turns cheap

people wear clothes of sadness

as they bury their loved ones in mass graves.

Death sleeps at our doors,

making us scared

for we know not when it will come,

to massacre us.

How I wish I would have power,

to massacre the massacre!

KOLAWOLE ENIFENI SAMAD

TITLE: MASSACRE; A BLOOD LUST

What remains of the insane,

When his tattered clothings are tidy?

What remains of the dead,

When all left was an empty pleasure?

Heads held down low,

As the swords had screamed

And a stream and still of body merged,

When cometh the red rain of war.

The happy left dejected,

And smiles left soured

As the face become wrinkled,

Like a lamb mourning its mum.

What was that blood lust? Asked,a child.

It was a mass slaughter,

Where your father was slain

And your mother helpless–

With their hands testifying to innocency

As their bodies fused like stock fishes.
