BY ALEM HAILU
A weekly devil council about evil prowess is being held in hell.Devils were standing on tongues of fire waving their tails and howling in a frightening manner that sends a chill down one’s spinal cord.
They were gritting their saw-like teeth and holding double-forked arrows. All were soot greased horn to toe, twisted and long. They were submerging the sinful like Judah deep into the fire.
(. Enters lost- in-action TPLF Junta’ informal army members referred Sameri.)
Aghast, at last
Vanquished, to retreat fast
Inflicting vengeful attack,
Tying and strangulating
Mai Kadra people
Brutally, we had made them
Breathe their last.
(A Satanon the front puts his hands together and says ‘How impish!’ ‘What news to relish!” Then he says.)
Spilling the blood
Of fellow human beings
Is something
We appreciate
The level of
Your cruelty
Is not
Heard to date.
By inflicting on
The innocent damage
With us
You have come to
The same page
As goes
“OutHeroding
Herod!” adage.
(.Enter Junta group members. They were the ones who were killed by counter attack, while stabbing the northern wing of ENDF in the back. Rearing his grotesque face out from the fire ‘bravo!’ says Judah the culprit. A devil pushes his head back into the fire)
Averse to
“Love your friend
Like yourself “
We ambushed
Fellow soldiers
Off their guard
Though our action
To the sane
Is hard to understand.
Looting heavy arms
Heavy damage
We were to score
No doubt
Had it been successful
Which sadists and Lucifer
Would adore.
(A Satan at the back stands up to accord him a high five)
Stabbing in the back
Fellow soldiers
In the military ditch
Is something
Not heard to date
That is animosity
We compliment,
As it is top
Among sins
God said
“FelonyI hate.”
(A veteran TPLF official on top of his voice says)
Unless ethnic groups
Get at loggerheads
We didn’t feel comfort
Because we are heinous,
Who understand
“Cut your cloth
According to your coat!”
We adored
“Divide and rule”
to exercise,
Cognizant to outsmart devil
That is an approach wise.
In a two-year-and-half time
One crime after a crime
We had committed messes
To 113 which add up
In the nation’s
Massacres map.
As a result
Reigned supreme turmoil
On Ethiopia’s soil.
We didn’t want
The prime minister
Ethiopia
Tranquil to administer.
Without us,
The diabolic,
In the top brass
Also trampling on
The broad mass
Allowed we not
Ethiopia to continue
Reformed or anew.
Fabricating lies
Was our characteristic feature
As we got it by nurture
And practice it as if
It was our nature.
(At lastwhen a pin drop silence falls Satnael got up and said)
Outsmarted by TPLF junta
For three decades
That allowed
The flow of blood
Like a flood
And which milked
The destitute
But pious Ethiopians
Till they cry
Until their woes
Reached the sky
“God punish us
With TPLF Junta why?
Alive must we die?
For what evil
Are we being punished
By those
Ever who outperform
The devil?”
Today
I have to reward you
My way
“I will throw you
In to a more
Smoldering fire—
Inferno—
As atavism
Is your desire!”
A lacerating fire
Devoid of light
Will be
Your plight.
Devils are seen outrunning each other to drag the atavists into the inferno.
