BY ALEM HAILU G/KRISTOS
Please allow us a stalemate
Please allow us a stalemate
Roughish, grabbed by the throat
We’re gasping for oxygen, against
Fellow countrymen, yet
To fully unleash our hate!
Please let us a chance
Please let us a chance
By self-seeking hypocrites
To pull down
A great nation
A secession agenda
We are charged to advance!
Our being a Trojan-horse
Is not by hap stance;
Know you must
Born to kill, to loot
We don’t give a hoot
To a blood river
Even that of those
Hailing from our root.
What a nice thing
Our riders, our occupants
In our favor could pull a string.
Please allow us a stand off
Please allow us a stand off
Though piles of bodies
Is our treasure trove
Ask us not hands off
Disarrayed, we and our likes
Have to retreat to
A cove or grove
To reorganize
And once more
Grill fellow citizens
On a terror stove!
Please afford us time
Please afford us time
Though grisly is each of
Our innumerable crime
To absolve ourselves
Buying journalists, aid directors
Monetizing human suffering
We have to continue fibbing.
Please show
To the merciless mercy
Please show
To the merciless mercy
To the devil gramercy;
Take us not crazy
You see
The global community
Specially the conceptual west
Affected by truth anemia
Is subjected to insomnia.
How come then
It sleeps at the wheel
When we kill, unwilling
Its eyes to peel?
Also it sits on its hands
When we damagingly advances.
We meet our ends
Using all tricks
As we get our kicks from kicks.
Ahoy
Peace talk has turned
A decoy. ///
