Please!   STOP IT

Third world nations barely survive,
Leaders waste while there isn't enough,
Worst of all not even much to rely on.
Fighting is on everywhere, on and on,
Destruction and no resources to rebuild them.
This spoilage makes me dumb and numb
To digest the destruction and not having
A dime. What's the essence to spill
The hemorrhage and fell the structures
That we struggled to erect or still repay?
Hush! Defaulting in their loans.

Even the industrialized nation don't
Ravage like us and who doubts that
Their economy is healthier? Really!
I will never digest not having enough
Resources and endlessly destroying the
Biddy bits we have. Halt the wastage!
And embark on hi- development.
The development traffic is shallow
And high, and we're below and behind.

When they talk about hi-tech we
Talking of repairing shoes. They
Say going to the depths of waters
And space heights, we say to the
Houses and to the local streets. The
Super highway network, we say
Service roads for imported cars.
Most sadden is our selves -aid for
Selves- destruction and the entire no
Cause wars. Look a minute! and
You see them as if a century ahead.
Is becoming late to fix up and work.
Deterrence seems to be established,
And problems are cyclical in the Third
World. I wish their militaries---aloof.
Lets work and concentrate.
The Time is speeding not lingering.
Those who block, please stop it.
Why obey a traffic stop sign and
Not the people's stop sign.
Here is a second thought, maybe
A third or as many, as necessary.
Men should listen to God who only
Knows the best and is the Greatest.
Please just take a minute to reflect,
Annihilate your ego and see the people
First. Just stop it! and allow the true workers.
Is about progress and not retrogress
Not about life abuse, and not about
Power hungry style of ruler ship.
I undoubtedly believed that if the
West should ceased for us to chase
Their progress, still it will take
Decades to reach where they ceased
Or awaited our progress to maximize.
Is impossible to keep up with the
Development and peaceful life
Via coup d'etats. Fighting within a
Nation is replacing development as
If fights are embodied in our real
Constitutions. Tell me now if the fights
Are the first pages of our constitutions!
That's what it seems to me with many wars.

If any leader or power fist feels that, please!
Redress to accept the unconstitutionality
Of coup d'etat or violence and upheaval.
Remember our exports are not yet listed
In the world's price index, nor do they
Have the dollar or pound value. AGAIN!
HALT the FIGHTING and DESTRUCTION,
Because there isn't resources to replace the
Displaced. Everywhere is selfish interruption
In our rocky path to development. Is even
Seemingly impossible for the workers
To work no matter, what know-how in them.
STOP IT! And any obstacle, no matter how
Insignificant it is to you, NO coup d'etat,
Matchets, guns, apaches, AK-47s,
And lets move oooooooooon!
For advancement. STOP IT NOW!
Let in, investment, production, technology,
To be on track. Our race is off track.
Stop it. Third world alert, stop it.

Dawda Jallow.2000.
