SILENT DEATHS

SILENT  DEATHS
Deaths are not announced again.
Silence is our funeral songs.
We dare not cry, we dare not plea, we dare not protest... 
Silently, the silent majority  gives up hope, and  die silently.
Everyday,somewhere, someone 
drops..and die,
Consolation! My people, I see a new 
sun rising from the Niger.
