I heard the great sound with my ears
Greatly scary, mightily fearful
Then I heard shouts, cries, wailings and sporadic Gunshots
And I ran for my life….
Then I saw you near my house
You killed some few girls with machete
Then you spotted me…… I ran off
After me you came with your boys
Along the way I saw a little child beside her dead mother
I never tried to rescue her because she’s too tiny to be killed
But you butchered her like a goat offered to the primitive gods
Then I realized I’ll die in few Minutes
You caught up with me….. Slapped me like a strong soldier
I felt dead but I was still alive
Your beautiful brown eyes when the going was good had turn red
I don’t think you remembered we were in the same class sitting next to each other
Your best name I called seconded with God’s own to plead
Yet you ordered me beaten to stupor like a street thief
You raised your machete to kill me……………
Then I woke up
Alas!! I was dreaming, it was April, 2007
I am a SURVIVOR of the dreaded GENOCIDE
Don’t know why I survived till now
Maybe to tell the world to STOP GENOCIDE.

I have a strong interest in the Millennium Development Goals and I have so many concepts on ground available for Organizations that are interested.
My aim through Creative Innovations is to ADD VALUE (NOVELTY) to existing programs of the NGOs, especially the Youth led so as to make it more effective, less cumbersome and highly Income Generating.
