Notice of absence from Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
I will surely get back to you when I come online.
I will surely get back to you when I come online.
Freedom fighters
Set an order,
To one and all,
To sit at home.
South-East
Their geographical
location,
Weekly they fly their rifles.
Home, but in exile,
Freedom fighters
Living beast,
Enemy of oneself.
The blood of kinsmen
flow like a river,
On the streets and streams,
Crying pullets
rain her venoms on the roofs.
Our ancestors frown their faces
from the world of the dead,
They have sent emissaries
With swords and arrows.
Soon many friendly foes
will be laid bare,
And sanity will smile again
Sit at home,
An enemy of freedom.

- Comment from author about the poem: The poem reflects on the "Sit at Home" in the South-East Nigeria. This peace threatening movement has crippled the peace and progress of the region. Many people killed on daily basis. Some of these men who claim to be freedom fighters use their rifles to hunt their enemies.

War is a terrible thing that touches all. It cares not for innocence but bleeds the entire nation. A good write.
