Ikoyi Tragedy

It was a sudden grim tragedy, That jeopardized lives and safety, With neither a tremor nor vibration, An edifice came crumbling from the foundation. Like Titanic ship it came sinking suddenly, Like pack of cards it came crashing all at once, People died and got buried alive unexpectedly, Under the dust and debris all at once. This is more than a pandemic! It grieves my heart and left me saddened That forces unknown wield such polemic Against mortals and are divinely unrestrained Could it be there was no safety inspection, To detect the frailty of the structure, To check for a crack in the foundation...? Oh, may it never happen again in the future. Dear Lord, to the deceased grant pardon That their souls may find eternal rest And to those they left grace to bear In hope that they are saved from eternal grief
