Silence is consent.
Blood knows no race or colour.
I don't know if this is a poem
But the government of Nigeria is killing Nigerians Protesting peacefully.
Let the world hear this.
They took off the CCTV camera.
They switched off the lights at Lekki Toll gate
They sent military on the streets
To spill the blood of young people.
Help us out.
Don't listen to the lies of this government.
Thank you so much @ Keith, @Shifa, @Greg and @Paul. Thank you for lending your voice to this struggle.
Glad that you can use Write Out Loud as an outlet to let us know about this, Emeka. But as Keith says, take care.
Heart-wrenching!
This is poetry at its finest hour, make no mistake. Be watchful as in such an environment poets are in jeopardy.
Keith

I think poets and artists in general would do well to use their skills and talents for political purposes. Thanks for this poem. Wishing you the best.
