A Threnody To the Tragedy In Owo

What a sad day it was on the fifth day of June Death being so greedy visited Saint Francis in about noon And a beautiful sunny day was thrown into shade Man's wickedness to man makes my heart fade For Nigeria, I'm tired of daily writing a dirge But these recurrent events cause a verge of tears as we sit on the edge Whether east or west we're covered with shame But sadly our leaders run after fame The tragedy in the land of Owo Like others punctured our national honour What's is left is a pontification From a lack of good evaluation Alas, I'm shattered as I mourn the dead Maybe I should mourn Nigeria instead The land of Owo was thrown into flood of tears What score is ever worth a fellow's tears I saw among those that have died Some eminent people that had nowhere to hide We're like lilacs or lilies that love to blossom But this nation shades us with boredom We live in the land of fury Where we can't trust the jury But I'm sure that the brains behind this continuous massacre Will sooner face their negative karma
