For Them Poem by Niyitanga Pacifique

For Them



For the Innocent people
who were murdered for
nothing; helplessly and
unarmed.

We write the elegies and
sing the dirges, to recall
them and give the honor
to all of them.

We smile for the reunion
and weep for those who
cannot be here: our pals
and our families.
