Cold War

Now no exchange of gunfire
No bombshell razed the forest
All is quite and calm in the land
So quite as dead night
When we wrestle with heavyweight
In a fight to overcome our fears
A battle, largely unseen pains in our hearts
Only in the wrinkles on our faces
As we struggle to survive

The Price paid to the deep state
Locusts ambushed our farmland
And pollute the river stream
As Cholera break out in the air
Kwashiorkor kill our children in cold blood
The outcry echoes in the silent night
Of the cold war in our country
