Gather at the cairn, meet old friends, wipe away a tear.
Standin on that moor, that once with blood was sodden,

President Olusegun Obasanjo- Atiku     Abubakar

Promises of pardoned traitors    
Reek like ancient regrets.

Steeped in rapacity.

Evoking the same air of oppression
Noteworthy of the days of...

Embarrassment
Anxiety
Shame
Envy

It's so easy to fall

Constantly tumbling
I must have my eyes closed
