kudirat Abiola</p>

The dream</br>
a hope</br>
The struggle</br>
a triumph</br>
The annulment</br>
an injustice</br>
The proclamation</br>
an incarceration</br>
The cause</br>
an uprising</br>
The mum</br>
a lone voice amongst her peer</br>
The woman</br>
a realization</br>
The lone loud voice</br>
a silence</br>
adieu</p>

she was silenced</br>
hot lead in hot blood</br>
melted on an unmarked spot</br>
save for secrecy</br>
will you ever tell</br>
if you were there</br>
who killed Kudi</p>

we celebrated her</br>
with our mind reminding time</br>
when shall thou tell</br>
but for another death</br>
That renewed our hope</br>
How will we ever know</br>
That she was killed for</br>
Fifty thousand naira.</p><a href="http://angelfire.com/oh4/forme">Back to My Homepage</a>
