A Poem To AGAGU And The 16 - R.I.P by tjfulloption(m): 6:36am On Oct 04, 2013 |
Day break has come with breaking news That the bird has fallen on the ground Its wings swallowed in its throat Its claws has punctured its intestines Right now the ground hugs the remains. The town crier has gone to town To announce to the town with a cry That the bad drummer has arrived our town I can hear the pathetic sound of his flute The one he blows whenever there is a hue I can see the sky so dark From the east west north plus south The storm is rough, tough on our turf The bird has come down on its nose Can the mouth and eyes runaway As this bad kisses the ground? I hate the sound of this drum Wish I can stop the beats But how do I kill these sounds When I can't see the hands that beat this drum? Bad drummer why did you come today As usual without sending word? We were not ready to dance your dance but you made us to dance your dance A dance devoid of joy Each step is pain and grief. Why are you so unfair with us? Won't you at least spare a second Without beating your drum to take away our joy? Imagine your argument today; You beat your drum and he danced and fell on his back His brothers and sisters that watched Rushed to return home with him You beat the drums of departure To make the journey home a disaster When you sing everyone whose name you call dances I still wonder what you have in your bad voice That drags men like cows to drink from your bucket Please tell me what is the secret of your secrets That makes your wicked hands invisible Like those of a thief invisible. You are hated and never invited You are a sadist and so never welcomed Yet you are stubborn and defiant with your visits. Today while the bird was up High up on the sky Your drum of hell came on air Your voice of doom with its melody Came again with the song of departure Many of those the bird had carried Hypnotized by the sweetness of your wicked voice Danced to your tune and kissed you The bird has fallen on this bad day Fifteen of them that kissed you Have walked away to join their ancestors You are a bad lover and I hate you Open your eyes and see what you have created The whole town is covered with a rainbow Of ugly and dull colors Pain grief cry and lamentation As the bird crashed again in Lagos Agagu went without farewell And now fifteen have followed him They too did not tell us goodbye. I wish my ears will hear not this music But I hear nothing stops it from booming Its melody penetrating The effects full of infection Everyone must dance to this music On land, water, rock or up in the sky Today, tomorrow or next year The music and song we shall all hear And the dance to return home we must all dance The way these fifteen did when the bird crashed down To crush and break the wings of survival Their flight ended as the eye twinkles Just like this bird is a mystery So are life and death beyond comprehension Adieu Agagu and the fifteen!

this plane crash is becominq so unbecominq, i think it`s been over-hype, only about 20 persons milkinq down this nation died and we`re all qoinq sober, what does the op have to say about the endless number of innocent people who has been killed due to recent violence in the country, few weeks ago about 70 students were murdered in cold blood in a hostel in maiduguiri, but i did not see any tribute dedicated to them¡ are those students not humans too?! don`t they have families, are they not suppose to be the leaders of tomorrow, or perhaps it is just inferiority complex. in my opinion, the mods should stop brinqinq these plane crash topics to the frontpaqe unless it is another plane crash carryinq top qovt officials| 5 Likes |

Am tired of all dis plane crash news..lets crack small joke jor Mother: "BIGWIG I'm sorry I slept with someone that is not your father 23 years ago. And that person is your real father." BIGWIG: "Mum, what rubbish! How could you! How am I to deal with this?! You should be hanged!" Mother: "I am sorry baby, he was my first love and i could not marry him... Cause we are of different religion. He is on the phone at the moment and wants to speak with his son for the first time ever." BIGWIG: "No I am speaking to no one. Mr bello is the only father I know and that will never change!" Mother: "Please don't be so upset. Just talk to him." BIGWIG: "Ok, I will give him a piece of my mind!" Phone: "Morning Son, I am aliko dangote. I am your real father." BIGWIG: Whaaaat JESU "Dad! Dad!! Dad!!! Thank God! Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Thank God!!!!!! I Love you so much Dad!!!!! I always knew there was something special about me.".. #BIGWIG 14 Likes |

Before he became a governor, Olusegun Kokumo Agagu was the Aviation Minister under Olusegun Obasanjo. Under his watch Aviation sector in Nigeria became a death trap and a nightmare for many travellers. Mr. Agagu he helped his pocket. A few years later, his dead body “re-died” alongside of his many other family members. This reminds me of Abdukarim Adisa as minister of Works. Although he was from Ilorin, Adisa refused to fix the Ibadan Ilorin road. Few years later he died in an accident on the same road. I hope all the other imbeciles ruling Nigeria know that life & death can also be a metaphor. Corruption has a way of fighting back, when you least expect it. Fix Nigeria. You will not only invariably fix your family in the process, but your future, and your future resting place........what a pathetic county, here someone is writing a poem for them born criminals you can as well write a poem for boko'Haram's dem 11 Likes |

Who wrote this rubbish poem? Where is the poem for the 41 students being killed by Boko haram? Where is the poem for thousands of innocent people being killed by northern terrorists? Where is the poem for those that are kidnapped by Niger delta militants? Where's the poem for the Nigeria pensioners? Is there any poem for ASUU too? No! It's mind-boggling reading poems for crooks and legislooters in our country. It's so unfortunate that Agagu's stubborn soul took a lot of innocent people along after his demise. Agagu's betrayal to his people has no boundries. Agagu deserve no poem! The heaven rejected his corpse by allowing innocent people to die along with his corpse. Just imagine the owemba party the state is preparing for him at the expense of the tax payers and the pensioners... Agagu's betrayal to his people is an eye sour. He deserves no poem! Nigeria is a country where the innocent minds are easily forgotten, but the crooks are highly honored. If there are poems written for Awolowo, Zik, Tafabalewa and honest civil servants in Nigeria, please someone should post it. I ain't reading no Agagu's poem! The killings of the 41 innocent students is still fresh in my mind! 7 Likes |
