"The death of a rebirth"

In memories of lost souls during the End SARS protest

On the 20th, October 2020
The Nigeria's Rebirth
Transited from the internet,
To the streets....
With vocal solidarity.

Placards and voices rang out loudly
In unison, the young's
reeled out their grievances
The hope of a prosperous nation
Soon to never come.

Soon, blood thirsty khaki men
Rolled their wheels at night
From their nefarious barrack
With cocked guns and armored tank
To battle against ....
Unarmed singing civilians
With waving flags

Red, white, green
A dictator's dark design
A stain on Nigeria's dream

We won't forget that night,
We won't forget the blood,
Forced into the bowels of the earth
We won't forget what it looks,
Like to ask for our rights

Writhing in pains and despair,
We found no apology or comfort.
