The "Green, White & Red, Green" Flag (lekkimassacre) - Poem By Ifeanyi Aniekwe by Evaromantik(m): 7:20pm On Oct 21, 2020 |
There was a night to remember in Africa It was a terrifying night in Nigeria A night of massacre in the city of Lagos A night colour red was added to the national flag Like a father protects the child, they were to protect their youths, Alas, all they got was massacre from those supposed to protect them The streets, they flood in millions Chanting songs of freedom as they march Freedom from some devils in black uniform Freedom from the Dracula called SARS They were massacred for demanding end to massacre They were brutalized for demanding end to brutality They were rounded up at night for demanding protection They were named miscreants for protesting peacefully They had no guns on them, but their mouths and a "green, white & red, green" flag Lights were denied them at night As their bright futures came to a dark end They chant their national anthem As their protectors turn against them Shooting till the streets is flooded in their bloods Shooting till their hearts beat for the last time Ladies and gentlemen, they murdered Yet the youths stood their ground They are the future of the land Alas, being hunted by elders of the land. In the voice of slain Mr. Anthony Okechukwu, I protest "Peace and Unity!" ✊ NOTE: I dedicate this poem to all the Nigerian youths out there in the streets and the internet, fighting for a better Nigeria for us and the future generation, our heroes that fell in the #LekkiMassacre and those still protesting out there.
