Sierra Leone
By
Mohamed Mansaray, Takoma Park M.S.
- Sierra Leone,
- The sound of guns and war,
- The sound of birds and dogs,
- The sound of babies and cats.
- Sierra Leone,
- The taste of rice and corn,
- The taste of sweet bananas,
- The taste of fried fish.
- Sierra Leone,
- The feeling of sadness,
- The feeling of weeping,
- The feeling of being scared.
- Sierra Leone,
- The sight of people dying,
- The sight of babies crying,
- The sight of soldiers shooting.
- Sierra Leone,
- The smell of mother's peanut soup,
- The smell of dead bodies,
- The smell of blood.

- Sierra Leone,
- The sound of tribal dances.
- Sierra Leone,
- The taste of rice and sauce.
- Sierra Leone,
- The sight of war, burning houses, cut feet, and running
children.
- Sierra Leone,
- The feeling of fear.
- Sierra Leone,
- The smell of burning.
