The gardens are painted in red
The seeds were made with blood
And the lion cries for freedom
Near the president’s throne

The streets are filled with junk
While people live hidden in trunks
And the nests are all empty
And the clouds are coming soon

What is left of the northern village?
Now that the school’s been burnt
And mothers and children are shot like rabbits
Oh policemen, you’ve shot your kin

Our race has never risen
From the ashes of war
And all that there is now
Is to let the rain fall down

This poem deciphers the violence of war in a vivid imagery aside more "plain" story telling...
