Vendetta, hate and war lead us to darkness, a vicious cycle of destruction. An informative and great poem.

Biafra is a blot on human history, as is Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Tiananmen. Your boldness to address this major atrocity in the African mainland is laudable. Great! ! ! May I invite you to read my poem on Tiananmen, “No Place Exists In The Universe by That Name”.

A poignant poem! Isolated in its secession pursuits; Menaced by famine in severe refugee crisis; A carnival of carnage set the sun/in Biafra - 'Land Of Rising Sun.'....Brilliantly written my friend! I always appreciate the few sparkling diamond like poems you have contributed to the field of English literature! Stay always blessed Chinedu!

Deadly reprisal which was the countercoup, triggered a wave of pogrom - doomsday chaos that littered the entire 'North' with human debris. Survivors flee 'East' with death on their heels.....a thought provoking write Chinedu! Thanks for sharing...10
