Poetry By: Christine M. Smith

Red

power

Nations strong and intact

Red

power

blood

contact begins

 

destruction ensues

 

Red

power

blood

chaos

colonialism

divides and tries to conquer

Red

power

Blood

Missing women

Murdered women

 

Red

Power

Blood

Mayhem

we try to fight

But government ignores

Red

Power

Blood

Truths, words

Mean everything

Did you say reconciliation?
