Riot

Who do we accuse for a man's death
How to we justify a killers presence
What do we do when a man is guilty
To whom do we head for justice required by the needy
Is vengeance a final solution
Or communal riots a means to avenge
Spew the blood of hatred amongst the masses
Splattering blood in the name of our fathers
Paying heed to an imbecile's speech
Armed with machetes patrolling the streets

Once brother in arms
Now holding a knife Like dacoits

Snooping around in search of a prey
From a toddler to a geriatric none spared.

Is this what we leave for the children to see
Brother killing thee in the name of community
Are we not the descendents of a single parent? 
Then why is the world in the apologetic state of decadence?
Who shall we ask who shall we blame? 
When we proffer ourselves foolishly in a politicans game.
