Hutu and Tutsis

Location

206 MEADOW VIEW LANE
United States

Hutu power

Tutsis leadership

Same God

Same language

Same blood and bone

All as  in all; human.

 

"Family is all that matters. I store up favors for when we need it..."

 

When the soldiers come for you because your neighbor said you did something bad

When lies are spread and your next moments are death

Who will defend you?

 

You, who never want to get involved

You listen, live, and obey

Are you a Hutu or a Tutsis?

 

Will you call in your favors from those very important people?

or

will you fight and kill?

Barter for peace and secure?

 

I wonder, do the Hutu and Tutsis really believe in God?
