END SARS
Our Country, Nigeria
A shade of fucked up realities
No laws to guide but instead
Written backwards to read
it is War with an L to cover
anguish and bloodshed is the reign,
beatings and brutal killings,
the order of these dark times
by those who swore to protect,
our government keeps mute and hide,
maybe if it they heard they would speak
we just want peace to live life
not brought down to paupers
for looking good and speaking out,
Enough is enough, today we stand
Our voices shall bring the peace,
this is not an end, but a beginning
of our fight for Freedom.
We will continue to cry,
until we are heard
This is the Oath we had taken
Until 20.10.2020 happened
Our voices drowned in the cries
it was a sporadic dealt pain to the soul
in the midst of the nation's anthem
our flags held high in respect
Smeared in blood instead of peace
we were reduced to gore and flesh
Of the command
They didn't know the law
so they took our lives instead
for a freedom we deserved
END SARS

...the poet widely, wilfully expressed her sensitivity,abhorence & warned of the status quo going fatal and hopeless.Her discontent with Living a life reducible to pauperish conditions heightens her turn - off to mediocrity under an amorphous system.
ReplyDelete...the poet might consider revisiting line eleven of the poem
ReplyDeletePS.does the poet care about the longevity by which I meant a timeless lamenting impact of the poem?if so endsars could be redressed or abstracted in other imagery to make it artistically wealthy to capture freedom and justice and zero brutality which are more basically humane for any citizen to thrive in any dispensation of rule with judicious care.
