"kijana's war ( ni penzi dadu)"
  by 11th Wonduh





((ekphrastic & octameter haiku))

“political power grows out of
the barrel of a gun.” mae tse-tung

dehydrated sands, i hunger
i demand my independence
territorial rights, [are being] enforced

w/ amputation of limbs

"ni penzi dadu"
(i will die)

*sighs* whenever i come and read your work i am always left feeling...inadequate. Your words are so powerful, moving and absolutely riveting! most times you render me speechless as i let everything soak in...your words, images push, force themselves into my seclusion and i am overwhelmed by their presence. *sighs* that image...*deep breath*

Writes like this bring me back to the atrocities that seem so commonplace in this world, today. It seems as if the more power grows, the amount of people who want that power grows and pretty soon we're left with nothing but situations like these. It's horrid. With structure, form and just afew words, you've made an excruciating point, 11th.
