The Echoing Gunfire
Why is the sky darkening?
Why are the white clouds disappearing?
Where has the sun gone to hide ?
Why is the ground dampening?
Oh, you think it’s with water and those little precious raindrops, but no
it’s with splatters of blood that’s sharing.
I too thought it was thunders and heavenly Roaring but it was another chaotic bombing.
It was a blood bath typhoon where everyone was being swept in and dismantled by mafias and little boys trained by gunmen.
Why are we against the government?
We know nothing of those political systems or what it is like to rule a country.
To actually rule a country with rules and laws not with gun fearing cause.
With unity in communities
Not with Gangsters in rivalry.
Not with elders being caught up in cross fires between unstable societies.
I no longer want to call this my country.
I don’t belong here.
I disown this way of life.
Do you think it is right?
Is this the life you want for your child?
Is this right for a child?
Young death, are you dead yet or can you change your life.
You only have one chance to make everything right.
When it’s over there is no return.
Consider what not choosing violence would look like. Now tell me which one looks like a better life.
Now silence the echoing gunfire.
