It was just a matter of minutes
And they were gone
The crowd cheered
Excited and satisfied
The photographers smiled at their scoop
“Babe I’ll call you tomorrow”
“Dapo I’ll give you the book tomorrow”
“Guy let me go I’ll see you tomorrow”
“Ade relax we go reason am tomorrow”
These they had all wished for
His Scream woke the people
They dashed out ready for battle
Descending on the accused
Like raw yam given a hungry goat
And tomorrow never came for them
Helpless they swam in
Flames that tore them in bits
With no one willing to give them a chance
What could be more Dastard
Than watch a fellow man roast to death.
From a hurting heart for the Aluu 4 killings and others who have been lynched .

I think its nice. I think I see what you’re trying to do – but you did not give yourself enough freedom to well-capture what you are seeing.
Try harder. You can only get better.
Good.
I guessed this might be a tribute poem and you didn’t disappoint. I like that it’s a story :d an attempt to invoke emotion by painting poignant pictures. You jumbled that midway though, how do I know, I’m the king of jumble. Don’t be like me, keep it neat, let it flow, you’ll write masterpieces.
That said, welldone.
A million thanks people
