In this age? by Adewale Sobowale

Unbelievable’s happening;

Instead of building

global perpetuity;

we’re besieged with mortality!

Is Putin being kind to History?

even if he gains victory;

With environmental degradation;

arising from wildlife extinction!

Unfathomable scale of ruination;

resulting from destruction;

of obliterated villages and cities;

by modernized savages!

All is now set;

for uninhabited planets!

Solid city walls;

must take falls!

Thought human lives sacrosanct;

not before unpleasant;

imbecilic savages;

who hell-bound to receive wages!

resulting from ruinage!

Homeful becomes refugee;

with no hope;

where to go!

We claim our new age;

Is now jet age!

World’s a global village;

Yet, submit we to raper!

of all known vestige;

That make us evil;

If country’s free;

It’s people should breathe!

Air of freedom;

Not of fiefdom;

We need liberation;

not destruction!

Children are fatherless;

Wives, husbandless;

Fathers go to fight affliction;

Husbands to defend nation!

Unthoughtful aggressors;

Chose to unremember!

Beirut, Aleppo and Hiroshima!

Nagasaki, Berlin and Warsaw!

Dresden, Apamea and Valella!

Kabul, Sarajevo and Fleury-devant-Douaumont!

Poziere, Ripost and Tahure!

Regmieville, \flirey and Moussy-sur-Aisne!

Ailles, Cowlecom and others!

Those are trying to recover;

They cannot ever;

Forget;

Unnecessary mess;

Of vast rubbles;

Nor needless cemeteries!

Added now are:

Buka, Borodyanka and Irpin;

Dumbas, Mariupol and Kyiv;

Chernobyl, Skovorodynivka and others!

To get a people;

for their purpose fulfilled;

They’ll commit urbicide;

People might be committing suicide!

Rather than surrender to thugs;

they’ll lose all!

Where’s our humanity?

What’s happening to our sense of equity?
