Day 2...of Tributes and Tears...
Poem by Ola Olawale
A Genocide at noon
We were singing
Asking for Justice
We were singing
Asking for freedom
We were singing
Saying end police brutality
We were singing
Saying end unjust killing
We were singing
For a just nation
We were singing
For an inclusive government
We were singing
With passion for the flag
We were Singing
Saying enough is enough
Suddenly the light went off
The camera got missing
The state is at work
Before the blink of an eye
In battalion, they arrived
Armed to the teeth
In battle mood, ready for exchange
With armless PATRIOTS
Soon, bullet here and there
life became lifeless
the song turns to sorrow
the smile turns to tears
All head for save haven
Hand raise hand in blood
Tears flows, from still breathing eyes
Mouth grieve for survival
See our brothers in Pain
See Our sister grieving
See Our Comrades in grave
A Genocide at noon
A Just cause
A lawful gathering of goodwill
A spot for songs of freedom
Turn a place of sorrow.
This Government is EVIL
Truly a Genocide At Noon
