I Lament

I lament not for those
felled through felonious bullets,
I cry not for those mangled
serated with tattoes of pain.

I weep not for those despatched
through sappy fingers of death
I moan not for ants
gobbled up by elephants.

...for their blood pacifies
our raging anger.

Perhaps,
I will lament
our despoiled vaults -
and our famished bodies.

(c)Emeka Chike Nwogu

Emeka,

The descriptive powers in your words make me cringe; powerful, heartshattering write--I join in your anger

This compelled me to read several times, Emeka; and that is usually the mark of something deeply meaningful. Thank you. Love and peace. Regis
