Aluu!
Just like your name,
You’ve wreaked an abomination.
Your veins are filled with
wickedness
And death speaks through your lips. Aluu!
You have cut short
dreams
Hacked away ambition,
Burnt out the future,
Clubbed the husbands of your daughters
And blown out the
candles
That hold the light of
tomorrow! Aluu!
We wail for your deeds,
Crying for your
atrocities.
Tears are no more;
We cry blood! Aluu!
What went wrong?
Did Ugonna impregnant
your daughter?
Could Lloyd have
trampled your yam tendrils?
Perhaps Chidiaka dared
your gods?
Or Tekena spat on your’s
ancestors?
Speak, You of evil hands and
heart! Aluu!
Justice knocks!

I don’t know what happened to your word editor but surely you didn’t mean for your poem to come out like this. I knew it was a matter of time before someone wrote about that gruesome day. Out of respect for the dead, I won’t criticise this. Or maybe, I should……out of respect
@vescucci,don’t know what you’re talking about,but all the same thanks for dropping by.
I mean, the spacing, paragraphing. I’m not sure whether it was your intention for it to come out like this or not.
It was messed up somehow. You should have seen the original posting on WRRPoetry. I think there’s an error somewhere.
Any poem written in honour of a person or thing remains a work of art for me. That said, welldone poet.
@ohmston,this should be more than work of art.Thanks.
Arrgh! okay, I’m calm now, I shall not also knock this… respect shey? :]xx
@daireenonline,you can knock it.Thanks.
justice, justice their blood cry out
This heinous deed has made them a cause celebre. Nigeria is fast becoming a nation of savages.
@supremo,they were brutally murdered.So help them get justice.
So Help Me God!
@cindypoppa,yes.Justice is what their voices echoed.Let’s be their voices.
Read the original post on WRR. It was better structured there.
Well done still.
Touching!
I pray we do not sink into that dredge of animal wretchedness; that we have so loftily esteemed ourselves above as a saner and cultured breed, that we are no more than the beasts in the wild , without a recourse to an established social order.
