I WILL TELL GOD EVERYTHING – BY EMMANUEL IKOROMASOMA
Mum where is Dad and Usama
Where is Assel my Uncle and sister
When are we going back home
And why are blocks now foam
Why running instead of dancing
To the music of the shelling
Do people now walk on their belly
I see them always still and smelly
Who are those in Uniform with firestick
Are they Gods soldiers or freak
Why are people running to the pole
Like an unexamined errand soul
When will my Syria ever trump
Does it require Kim or Trump
I see metals on ground everyday
Aloft, beneath and on the way
Hunger now the pride we trade
Many has died and has been laid
When is my mum coming back
It’s getting late and too dark
Where is the sun and the rain
Couldn’t they see people in pain
Why is there bubbles in their mouth
Chemicals, food, spice or drouth
Why are our lives sheeted in dust
And why is the government unjust
when will tomorrow ever visit
Out of its illusion and solicit.
Dad where is God or Allah
Does he even hear our prayer
Where is the world watching from
Why are they myopic and dumb
Fields no longer of plant but war
Once playground now no more
Dad, do they even care about us
Can one ever be like Christ Jesus
Who then will send the message
Killings, shelling and the damage
Boom! Oh..Son..Ahmad, hospital
Oh..Ahmad, Ahmad, to the hospital
Don’t….. Wor..ry…about……me
In……hea….ven…I,…I..shall..be.
And I..will..tell God..every..thing
Ah!..I will.. tell…him every…thing
will..tell him the pains we bleed through
And how. ..our children never grew
How they were never mothered
As..their mothers are murdered
Our hospital and schools razed
Making the atmosphere hazed
Our conscience is now dead
At the tomb where politics lead
I….will..tell….God…Every….thing
How Syria is razed.. to …..nothing!
Ahmad, Ahmad, Ahmad, Ahmad
Beep,beep,beep,beep,beep,beep
…………………………..we lost him!.
