Strange War
It goes on
Nigerian oil war.
The government
Ordering soldiers
To shoot at us.
Soldiers, paid
With our oil and tax money
For killing our women
And children.

it's only 3 stanzas long, it doesn't really matter because it perfectly describes the agony and fear you feel for your country and your people!
excellent well done!

Yeah Graham, that's the size of it. That's the way it is. Thank you for your comment.

Yeah, those three stanzas pack a lot of punch. I think it's so grim exactly because it's straight forward and short. Stay safe, Divine.
