The Culture that Lies - Gabriel Ndende

#Say no to Tribalism

we see bombs now those bombs break our homes now we are homeless hoping to find homes in heaven

From nothing we are the victims of unending tribalism that draws away our happiness and leaves fear as our weakness

our grandfathers and grandmothers could no longer chase animals but wind which they did not catch until now

the weak dogs that died longer ago were busy whispering in their son’s ears “never like Tutsi, never like Hutu” with the unknown reasons behind

i see the frowning faces in churches, in schools and everywhere their faces look not younger but older when still young to enjoy their youthful stage but chasing nothing but achieving a false mindset

ooooh weak dogs now you made us lose our homes and find other homes after deep struggles due to the wrong seeds you planted now we are harvesting names like maburundi or makwerekwere
