How long can our people die?
How long will my country in mourning lie?
How long can our homes,
be made our tombs?
How long will we, the Aks and bazookas keep?
while our people continue to weep?
How long must our people cry?
while greedy leaders divide Liberia like a pie.
How long must our country plea?
please, please, stop all this looting and killing spree,
How long Liberia? how Long?
How long will my country in mourning lie?
How long can our homes,
be made our tombs?
How long will we, the Aks and bazookas keep?
while our people continue to weep?
How long must our people cry?
while greedy leaders divide Liberia like a pie.
How long must our country plea?
please, please, stop all this looting and killing spree,
How long Liberia? how Long?
Poem i wrote during the 1992 invasion of Monrovia, by rebels forces loyal to Charles Taylor.
