Delusions of War
The wind tells the story of the one who saw fear and gripped it by the fore loin
Are we just half way from heaven?
Or is this just our mindset?
Look over there…..lunatics.
The Poet
Hassana Suleiman is a Nigeria poet. She is still in awe of all that the earth presents on a daily basis and hopes to be able to put them in words too.
Some, but not all, of her thoughts can be found on Twentyplusish podcast – hassana-suleiman and on Brimstone@ myworld1607.wordpress.com.
Commenting on the story behind this poem, she said: “I came up with this poem after watching the BBC documentary, ‘Bandit Warlords of Zamfara’, with the weak responses from authorities and the sanctions placed on media houses responsible for the documentary. I felt that the idea of peace and security has become a bleak and distant notion.”
