Where tribalism reigns the following signs are clearly visible
The only way you can aim high in politics Is to kill as many people as you can The only way to stand clean in politics Is to speak behind the hills of crime The only way you can express ideas Is to use channels of oppression The only way you can comfort a crying child Is to clean his tears with bloody palms The only way justice is metted out Is to weigh justice in a tribal scale The only way you can live in peace Is to be in war all the time The only way you can chase a thief Is to have bandits at your disposal The only way you can save a patient Is to let him bleed in the emergency ward The only way you can tackle crime Is to respect lawlessness The only way you can defend your nation Is to seek support from its enemies The only way you can lift yourself up Is to let others down The only way you can forget the past Is to throw the scab from old wounds �

Powerful write, Abdi! Yes, tribalism in a great extent does bring out such injustice. Excellent piece and a sad truth.

God bless,

Sandie.

I read this but without a clear understanding of what tribalism was and upon doing a bit of research I reread it and think you did an outstanding job to expound on the injustice and inhumanity taking place. Each stanza is strong and emotionally compelling..well done and thank you.
