MUBI KILLINGS:
DEATH AT A CITADEL
Death made a roll call
And we had over 40 fall
Merchants of death at our citadel
Leaving a nation quizzical
Of a heinous merchandize, so principal
To the swelling of her mourning tide
In a month meant to celebrate her pride
Someone must be responsible to take the fall
But the usual suspect denies making the call
Fingers point at the politicking in the citadel
While the nation remains quizzical
Unable to answer questions so principal
About the why and who has derailed knowledge’s tide
And breached our citadel and its pride
Death has unlearned knowledge
And made grave our future’s courage
Murderers hold the nation hostage
As insecurity heralds death’s cartridge
Pray we honor the dead with the knowledge
That the future will not lose courage
To unshackle her nation and refuse to remain hostage
This is in remembrance of the students killed on October 1, 2012 at The Federal Polytechnic, Mubi, Adamawa State, Nigeria.
May their souls rest in peace!
