Discussion on Life and Struggles
There’s Burkina this, Burkina that, Burkina...
over there.
Don’t know, don’t know, the boy might know.
It won’t be written in any history.
The boy came rushing in from behind, went ping ping
to shoot. Me,
behind my pickup truck, my general.
No matter how the fighting came. Even, even the smallest thing that could walk
so the soldiers could all carry bullets, my general.
I saw a seven-fifty-six, Nep. A little Kalash,
a little M14, an M14 and a Kalash.
Huh?
There’s nowhere for us to go, where can we go?
Hmm?
Where can we go? What, a stator? Everyone laughed.
There’s nowhere for us to go, my general.
Are you selling me out?
If it’s a battle for us, a battle for us to stay alive.
A battle for us to stay alive
