ASK THE BOYS by Mide Benedict

Ask the boys
Whose hands were covered
With the mud of their mother's grave,
Ask them if they really knew
What laid within the soil below their feet.

Tell the boys
Whose toy kits were the bones
Of their closest mates
Ask them if they knew
The femur their father once owned
Is now the fervour for the dog to crack:

Tell the boys who were
Snatched from the hands of dreams
And handed over to imbalance
When the single song of sorrow
Tore their eardrums off peace....

Ask them if they still have dreams
I doubt they will say no,
They do have dreams they may never find.

War is nothing but the inactions of peace
Peace and war are nothing but the actions of us

TIED TO FREEDOM by Mide Benedict

Don’t hold me down L ike I’m in some cave Just like a bird flies Where nothing breathes light Through a hidden dark sky L ike an existence lost in inexistence, Locked up in a bottle T hat only lives every day in an every minute coffin Tightened with an unbreakable cover. Free me I said, but you brought me this! What freedom is more painful than Eye balls without sights; faith without work like To walk on a spot; Mountains tied to your legs While eyes go dark As you walk unmoving: In a place surrounded by light; What a freedom!
