| They were experts
|
| Having practised for years
|
| On cattle
|
| What sustained them?
|
| Beyond the frenzy
|
| The frenzy of the first attack
|
| Through plain physical exhaustion
|
| And the whole mess of it all
|
| Unending destruction required great ambition
|
| Properly disturbed by the curiosity
|
| Of inflicting
|
| Massive slaughter on
|
| Innocent civilians
|
| Perpetrators needn’t enjoy the killing
|
| Above all their victims must die
|
| Extermination underway
|
| They killed all day
|
| At night, they feasted on
|
| Looted cattle
|
| Beneath the cries of their victims
|
| After whatever sleep could be had
|
| They went back and killed again
|
| It was a process
|
| The dead were beautiful
|
| Random fallen forms
|
| And the tranquility of their rude exposure
|
| Women and children raped
|
| Then hacked apart with machetes
|
| All dumped into bloodied rivers
|
| Whole families lay butchered and rotting
|
| Ideal genocide
|
| Conveyed through the stronger tribe |
