She died a year ago, But so pathetic I wasn’t around during, Her funeral, Air would have protested against my loud dirge, There would have been series of enjambment In the stanzas of my her elegy. General Abas said she died in a ****** coup, But she was too wise to be wiped out in a coup, She was like untamed lion. Mr George gave another account, He said she died during an internal war, The war against the truth, She has been from truth, Too blind to see reality, Fast asleep to be woken up. The family doctor said she was poisoned, Poisoned with the truth, The truth that kills rather to set free. Inspector James said she was sniped From a fair perimeter. The mortuary attendant said they Heared movement, Guess she was just try to raise up. Today I arrive with nothing to feed my eye, A little bit nostalgic, I had the feeling that I belong here but not to death, So I left for the yard, at the backyard, I couldn’t belive what I saw on her gravestone, “Nigeria a country, not a nation”

Epitaph for Nigeria
She died a year ago, But so pathetic I wasn’t around during, Her funeral, Air would have protested against my loud dirge, There would have been series of enjambment In the stanzas of my her elegy. General Abas said she died in a ****** coup, But she was too wise to be wiped out in a coup, She was like untamed lion. Mr George gave another account, He said she died during an internal war, The war against the truth, She has been from truth, Too blind to see reality, Fast asleep to be woken up. The family doctor said she was poisoned, Poisoned with the truth, The truth that kills rather to set free. Inspector James said she was sniped From a fair perimeter. The mortuary attendant said they Heared movement, Guess she was just try to raise up. Today I arrive with nothing to feed my eye, A little bit nostalgic, I had the feeling that I belong here but not to death, So I left for the yard, at the backyard, I couldn’t belive what I saw on her gravestone, “Nigeria a country, not a nation”
