21 young men…
Congregated at the village square…
In the hilly town of Emene in Enugwu…
Discussing how to better their lives…
To improve their lot in life…As things had become so difficult…They chose not to steal, kidnap or rob…
Just to better their lives…
Along came some terrorists in the name of the Nigerian Police…
Took a cursory look at the hungry-looking chaps…Whom even had nothing to have for breakfast…
Neither had they anything to eat a night before…
And the terrorist group called the Nigerian Police…Declared that the 21 didn’t look hungry enough…But deserved to die even while they were starving…They cocked the guns paid for by the sweat of these young men…
And mowed them down for no just cause…
The 21 young men were murdered for nothing…By the agents of a country they were forced to belong to…
In death, there really could be regrets…”Why didn’t we simply be terrorists and die for a cause…rather than being mowed down while being law-abiding”?
What hurts the sensibilities more is the so-called leaders…Buffoons in the East and South all over…Claiming to be governors, senators and reps…That they could be silent in the face of such federal criminality…That cut short the lives of virile youngmen…That were in their custody as citizens…
Not a sound, not a whimper… Governors, senators, reps and imbeciles alike…That masquerade as leaders of the East and Igbo…
These buffoons are silent in the face of unprecedented provocation…
But expect the rest of us to defer to them as leaders…
What more to think of these imbeciles…That reverre the oppressors that rape their mothers and sisters…That kill their sons and maim their fathers…That occupy their lands and burn their properties…
And cast blames on the victims, already dead…Rather than to stand up and be men for once…
For those that should protect the ordinary man…But keep silent in the face of open murder and extreme evil…So shall evil fall upon your household and all you hold dear…And neither you nor yours shall taste good or peace for many generations to come…That office you think you hold shall bring sorrows to you and yours…May you never know peace forever!
Irresponsible, useless, aimless, imbecilic and totally despicable idiots called governors, senators and reps of Ala-Igbo and environs that have been silent in the face of these unjustifiable murders, it shall not be well with you all!
