The Sunset at Dawn

My heart is heavy. Infact ,I have been crying since 11pm Tuesday night. Stopping and then wailing all over again all by myself.

No,am not running crazy neither am I depressed but I have been mourning the shooting of young unarmed innocent Nigerian protesters by soldiers.

It's was a black Tuesday and most of us are mourning, angry and feeling frustrated.

Why ram bullet into a peaceful gathering?

I understand that my country is going through a blrth pang to birth a better and a more conducive nation but must innocent blood be shed?

I saw his picture on tv breathing his last ,laying helpless with his friend wailling for help .He died reciting the last line of the national anthem:  Peace and unity were his last words.

That scene has been playing back in my mind each time bring ing more uncontrollable tears.

I am angry, I feel trapped and helpless but I am not helpless.

I have decided to pen down my anger in poetry once more so I can release the negative vibes that I feel.

Pray for Nigeria!

These ones should never die in vain .

Let their death birth a new nation so that if the dead  could see they should look on us and smile knowing their lives were not cut shot in for nothing.
