I ) Transitivity
If X is a terrorist
And if Y supports X
Y automatically
Joins the blacklist.
II ) TPLF
By all accounts
TPLF is
A marked terrorist
For holding
Mirror to devil
Engaging in all acts
Revoltingly evil.
A terrorist why?
Because
Now in the open,
Now on the sly
Nonstop it labors
The innocent suffering
Lacerating pain
To die.
It either kills
Or sponsors
The killing of toddlers
Elders,
And women with
A bun in the oven
More often.
To maximize, selfish
Political objective,
Its duty,
TPLF knows no pity.
Its head
A box empty
Like a child naughty
Make noises
To swap
The victimizer &
The victim
And tip the balance
In the global
Political roadmap.
Long before
ENDF’s law–enforcement
Operation
Three out of 5
Women in Tigray
Were subject
To rape
Many heard the
Report agape.
Happily,
The response from
The west was
Tossing it off
Like a ladies hair
Not Tied
On the nape.
Pillaging food aid
Many were the
Instances TPLF its
Impish army fed.
III) America
From
TPLF’s inception
To its tyranny
We were on the ball
That is why
We are mourning
Its demise &
Catastrophic fall.
Before our eyes
TPLF stands tall
‘cause it saw to
Our dictates all,
When we asked it
A room
In Ethiopia’s politics
It used to
Give us a hall.
For our satisfaction
It was on the toes
It sleeves to roll.
“TPLF
(Dear Meles Zenawi)
Our soldiers in Somalia
Are suffering
Ignominious defeat
Forced with their tails
Between their legs
To retreat.
Valorous march and
Invade Somalia
‘YES’ it said
To diplomacy
Longstanding relation
Having little
Or no idea.”
We know
Very well
TPLF, now suffering
Death knell,
Was past master
In terrorism,
Not in store
Even in hell,
Seeing its deeds
That everyone
Effortlessly
Could tell.
Devoid of
Mental health
TPLF was out
In East Africa
To spell death.
It was adverse
To peace brokers.
When TPLF said
An election result
It conducted was
“Hundred % a hit”
We (Susan Rice)
Laughed till
Our sides were
To split
But we showed
A green light
“Go ahead
Do it!”
To Bin laden
We showed
No mercy
But around
A horseshoe
Table with TPLF
You, peace-seekers &
Peace keepers,
Have to sit
With the
Worst terrorist
Defeated, exposed
On the retreat.
To meet our ends
We use
Carrot and stick
To terrorist
The former
And stick
To the latter.
Also
Pulling off
A gigantic dam
By own head, arm
Defying our interest
Our arrogance,
Our image
Ethiopia did harm.
This way Egypt,
Our bargaining chip,
Is slowly but surely
Getting out of
Our grip
So on Ethiopia,
our pushover, let us
Use a sanction whip.
Ethiopia we have
To flog, to beat
Before it zooms
Africa’s head
To the East.
We wrecked down
Many nations
Under the name
Of peace waging war
From Libya
To Afghanistan far
Unless the
Global community,
Own citizen &
Specially the east
Our action bar
We are out
World’s peace
To mar.
