The Enemy Himself








"Keep quiet and the enemy 
will reveal himself."
Bangambiki Habyarimana

Possessions were lost and I was penniless.  
I wandered across your field, stumbling as I went.  
I heard you yell, but my throat was dry, 
and my voice had left me long ago.

"Stop or I'll shoot!" came the words in the night. 
 I knew if I would stop, I would fall over dead.
You fired your gun, and I fell over dead.
