AN ATTEMPTED CONFUSSION

"the sound of thunder dont mean its going to rain"


And it started a very lovely day, the speech on the lawn, the lights, camera, action , just like a scene from a home video after all the flash and fizzers  MEND had its own message sound out loud and clear, soon enough we all will have to admit the ugly truth like it or not.  There really is no need to lay blames yet, its been years since Dele Giwa died, its been years since Bola Ige died, its been years since Abiola died, so what does it matter if a bomb explodes on independence day? 50th or no 50th anniversary? To point fingers in the mist without it clearing is to play the role of a soothsayer.....

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

"as today molds, its a preparation for its death. a death that gives life to tomorrow, a death that keeps yesterday in its choice of exit..."


A river of life
now flows with blood
a darkness that broods
over the waters of gold

These hands beg for alms
my alms a fight for peace
for this land I desire justice
with eyes full of tears
for which non can replace

It’s now or never
do, die or remain silent forever
these conditions a mockery
rags of poverty in exchange for my wealth
a design for disaster
a rape of glory of the Niger area
at the place delta.
