Poetry |All About War And Conflict| by Aishat O. Yusuf

February 28, 2017 TWF Editor 0 Comments

The land is quiet
Everywhere is still
People are hiding
Behind their closed doors & windows
Eyes half closed, half opened
Afraid to come out
All because of war and conflict

The land is silent in an unusual way
Birds hooting fearfully on the tree
All afraid to fly about
All because of war and conflict

Hunters are sleeping
Behind closed doors
All afraid to embark
On their hunting expedition
All afraid to shoot their guns
All because of war and  conflict

The land is quiet
People are praying
For day to break
They believe all will be well
For tomorrow is another day
And they hope they will not be in conflict forever
