ONCE CALLED PARADISE

 

The road seemed endless,

with each step they took.

Weighed down by their gear,

emotions and fear.

They walked on every so fast.

Knowing each step might be their last.

The rain poured and the sun beat down.

As each side’s casualty became a mass.

Sounds of guns echoed all around.

As refuge became weeds and tall grass.

Each soldiers level of honor and courage was found.

As they fought bravely alongside the screams and death sounds.

While evils of man lingered amongst fields of rice,

devastation reigned in a land once called paradise.

A paradise we should have left as it was. The effects of Agent Orange and napalm as well as unexploded ordinance still plague those rice fields of paradise long after those brave soldiers have long gone.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
