RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WAR CRIMES
War Crimes in Africa
Burkina Faso is under a curse
Islamic warriors press their cause
They murder, burn and worse
Without regard for humane laws
Two million people are displaced
Thousands have been killed
A smile of glory on their face
An interpretation of god’s will
Their god must be a god of rage
A god without compassion
A god at home in another age
When cruelty was in fashion
There is no place for holy wars
In a world of modern nations
Reserve jihad for ancient lore
And pray for your salvation
