The country descended to rages <br />The people geared in a gallant smile of fingers <br />While the mountain on top <br />Was sending radio massages <br />Of rocks down the doorway <br /> <br />I was there when I saw a cloud <br />Covering the stirred terra firma of a crowned Salmon <br />Peace! Liberty! While lakes filled with hot water <br />Tampering the great multitude down walkers <br /> <br />I was there when I saw an impious regime <br />That system was collected with over drifts <br />With beauty and happiness when sun hand risen <br />Then it sunk into fallible pieces of embargo <br />Succumbed, reaaly disturbed in forgone <br /> <br />I saw the economy traveling down stairs <br />The forex, my fonex wing for another residence <br />Gasoline, fuel....unfilled cars cruising on a queue bone <br /> <br />I saw the country besieged by looters <br />Spoiling shops, banks our own facades <br />I saw there when I heard the Reader of the warm heart <br />The ruler displaying peace, negotiator's funcy lecture <br />The other day he came with other scenes <br /> <br />I was there when I saw a group of carcass <br />Absolute victims of democracy displayed my scenes <br />My body felt that death toll and reserved in my book <br />I will never forget now and forever peace!<br /><br />Paul Mwenelupembe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-was-there-13/
