But quicksand stuck, I’m petrified

Millions of ebony shinning skinned individuals,
Meddled in this part of the world to form a country named Nigeria.

I remember 
Your anger 

The way your neck muscles 
Stood out

Life has come to a standstill
A fork in the road with a piercing stop sign

when drivers drove to work
In one of the cars sits a cook only...
