Biafra: there was a country indeed

Bombs of hamlet
A split of a heavy two
Spoils of war
A weep of a country
Wiped out by betrayal,
Self betrayal in field of ego

An eerie call
Soldier-born patriots
Bloodshed on these days
The boy set to roast
Out of a Biafran cry
A call from the Pope
For the plea of a fiasco peace

Robbed of an old nemesis,
The booty of war
A retreat it was called
But it really was a flee

The rising sun has fallen
Flat on its face
The red nile dried up in its vein  in vain
The end of a belligerent feud
The nation, an end of a Biafran case
But there was a country
Yes indeed, there was.

Cloudy days

Cloudy days
Jugde my mind
Not in a court
But am caught in this.
