On Empty Stomachs we woke up The Sun wasn't bright as it usual Our zeal still paramount as usual . We picked up our flags we had slept in To protect ourselves from flies and mosquitoes of the night It doesn't matter how cold the ground was We conquered Thugs came , still we conquered The rain poured down still we conquered We danced , we played , we prayed , days upon days We met new people , We Smiled , we fell in love. we took pictures ,we kept memories ,we remembered We have never felt such Nationalism and belongliness like this in our hearts since our birth not until the Matching began We had hope in our eyes mind and voice even in our hearts We danced again , we laughed harder , we Smiled , we played and we prayed.................. 201020 We woke up again on this hard road Now the pain is getting unbearable Our backs getting stiffened from the flat floors Our flags getting faded Our Aged walking Our emotions frustrated But still Under the hot sun we matched For my children I matched For my Children's children I matched For Every Single Nigerian we matched For the love we collectively have for Nigeria ,the little spark of hope ,we matched We Sang still, we danced , we played and we prayed .... Evening was coming , Our president still hasn't said anything Maybe he hasn't heard , maybe he was planning He was.... We danced harder , laughed harder ,played and Prayed harder The lights went out Our hairs stood up ,we stoped and looked at each other , Trucks were speeding and screeching towards us . Without voices just footsteps followed by rapid gunshots ,first we thought it was air shots but no people were dropping and been picked up both by Soilders and fellow matchers to aid them to safety . But where is safe ? we are left in open field We were left defenceless Literally target practice Children are here Women screamed Holding and curling up around their loved ones Hold your Nigerian flags! We tried to encourage ourselves , still the shots continued as if been automated by drones . We have never seen a gun battle before sadly it will be our last Woman, men and children ..... Nigerians ........Humans running sporadically , been chased like rats , been shot at like Sport . We were enclosed , we were trapped , insticts kicked in people trampled on people ,children and the weak , some ran to their own deaths , others bullets missing their heads by inches , others hit on the side without even knowing , The intense smell of gun powder is unmistakable Blood on the Nigerian Flag Blood on the Military Blood on the hands of the President Blood on the very streets we once slept on Blood on 201020 R.I.P Nigerian heroes May your legacy live on Lekki Slaughter.
