Beyond a Bloody Beach (My Poem For Joseph Kony)
In Brazzaville Congo three hundred and fifty people were found missing In a case that should have been settled long ago So how long will we let our people cry? In a land ravaged by Kony and his henchmen Just when will our tears cease to flow? Child soldiers and sex slaves Slaughtering Northern Uganda's innocent spirit Lord God what have you done? Yet it continues to this day; Joseph Kony remains free to perpetrate his ghastly crimes Lost lives, sliced lips and hacked noses Falling flesh to commemorate your sins But who will stop you Former hatchet men or an American led initiative? And yes, President Museveni you are hardly without blame Your regime is but a bogus democracy that comes from the barrel of a gun It saps the will of the people in Kampala and far far beyond; Deadly poverty with very little hope to rise.
Lord God, how can we turn our heads and pretend that we just don't know why? In a mix of murder and witchcraft Kony kills, Corrupting blameless children in Uganda, Congo, Central African Republic and Sudan Let's do something, now! Stop the killing, please! Joseph Kony is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army.
It is a rebel group that bases it's activities on a highly debased form of Christian thought.
Sadly, the LRA is responsible for the abduction of approximately 30,000 children and the displacement of 1.
6 million people in Central/East Africa.
In recent days stories have circulated that indicate that American led initiatives and former LRA rebels will pursue Kony with increased vigor.
