Colour of War

What is the colour of war, pray tell me... In Rwanda, it is green April, the month of abundance Green April, green genocide green, the wealth of the country the reflection of heartless bastards Green, envy, Green, war... In Congo Its black, its diamond, Its Gold, the wealth of nature earth, black, the colour of nature, black, death...black, war In Iraq, it is gold; liquid, heavy, deep down in the earth corroding the very essence of life killing the breath that is life, brown, oily, gold, hell...gold, war In the Sudan, Sierra Leone, the colour wheel spins black, red, green the colors of war, Pray let me know So when one day when I cannot speak and I hold a crayon in my hand, paint when I will tell stories in colour then I will freely call it black, or gold, or green…. The colour of war is not red Red is the colour of the pain that is war Pray, tell me then... What is the colour of war Terryanne Chebet
