The War of Two Brothers: Collection of Poems

By Daniel B. Solomon

The War of Two Brothers is a collection of poems which were written over a period of the last fifteen consequent years. They were all coined in the wake of EPRDF, which brought identity politics to office and triggered citizens to slaughter each other on the basis of ethnic profile for nothing.

It embraces a total of over 150 poems. Most of the poems echo the heartrending torment beleaguered over the entire nation. Some depict the arduous trail the country has been through in the last three decades. Still are some portraying a kind of bottomless adoration a child may have to his mother.

All said, the poems are all profoundly penetrating, heart moving, and full of passion. They have quite a lot of sentiment, truth, and esthetics in and around them.

If truth be told, the collection is an apparent attempt to help man comeback to common sense and reconcile with himself. The poems are very compelling, fascinating, and enthralling.

Some of them echo back even after a long time since they have been delivered to the mind. They pledge the truth that love has no option, whatever.

Dedication

This collection of poems is dearly dedicated to my mother the late Bizunesh Bekle Chergne, who passed away on the 16the of April 2007. I was with her on the phone some hours before her final departure and she had no idea that would die in a little while.

Most of the pomes portray my emotion about my mother, who was so loving, so caring and so distinct to me. Mothers are special gifts from God above, they truly are. We have to be serious in taking care of this gift in due time before it is too late to do so.

This collection of poems is equally dedicate to my darling wife Sara Gebremicheal Kinfe. She is a mother-cum-wife.
