The Rwandan battle front <br />drowned into a red sea: <br />a private shooting gallery <br />where government troops <br />massacred children and women, <br />dismembered bodies, stomping <br />over them, leaving their <br />footprints bloody branding <br />bare backs, soaking <br />each victim like a dry- <br /> <br />ice cube burning minds <br />touched by <br />naked eyes, blood, big brother. <br /> <br />It is the Killing Season- <br />a sport in Rwanda- <br />to massacre <br />women and children <br />for the welfare of politics? <br /> <br />'Scapegoat the babies, <br />people will listen; <br />There cannot be a cleansing without <br />the shedding of blood, ' said the militia.<br /><br />Lisa Rhodes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-kibeho-slaughterhouse/
