Liberia
One of Africa,so peaceful to live,
Abundant in the necessities of life;
Of a sudden,strikes by age-old disease.
Religion against religion;tribe against tribe
Section against section;killing after killing
Blood shed after blood shed
Turns into a battle field,in the name of
Enthronement of peace;but peace eludes them.
For decades,arms against arms
Strife against strife;bullets run through
The barrel of gun.
Child soldiers armed to the teeth,
Trigger happy are they,
Never know the consequence of their actions.
Lacking education,
In darkness they live,
While the beneficiaries grow fat
On the lean purse of the state;
As their children are taken out of darkness.
