Dele(For Dele Giwa 19th Year Remembrance)

Lingering will it be in our memories As we memorise the memorable Memoir of the memorial Of Dele Giwa A letter engraved in a Bomb Plucked away our prolific And dogged pen pusher Dele, A News Watcher Became a news Watched under the watchful Eagle eyes of millions of watchers On a day better not to remembered Sunday 19th October, 1986 Came the news of Bomb bombardment We all woke up to the verity of a News very sad to watch But watched with pains and agony There the Bomb boomed With a letter speaking only doom Dele, Life was abruptly seized from you By the BBI of this world Your dream was caught short Orchestrated by the goons of the Jackbooters in power who still Want to return to power by means all Dele, They threw spanners in your path With the quest to kill the Message and the messenger But Dele,19 years after The message lives It leaves them Only to live on them For your message lived on truth It feeds only on Justice Adieu Dele!!! Your blood shed will continue To sprinkle trauma and agony On all your killers As we promise to continue To truthfully push the pen like you did Till the ink finishes And till we can push no more.
