<p>Tonight I wish to die,<br>
I wish to die after beholding death unravel our posterity’s nudity.<br>
I wish to halt my soul from beholding the parched bones of serenity,<br>
Lying helplessly on sacred sands.</p>
<p>I wish my ear drums could be beaten to death,<br>
Since sonorous sounds have seized from this jungle of doom<br>
and shame is wrapped about Justice’s waist like ghosts wrapped in a solemn grave.</p>
<p>We offered words of sacrifice to our ancestors,<br>
The words woven together with a thread of unity and needle of purity,<br>
But the gods are busy breaking kolanut and drinking palmwine<br>
with the ancestors of depravity and they have left us to push the wheelbarrows of a faithless fate.</p>
<p>It was just yesterday, when my tears gathered around for a meeting after<br>
seeing butchered skulls of brothers and bleeding breasts of sisters<br>
lying helplessly on a cursed ground.<br>
I saw bombs making mockery of their pains and agony,<br>
Still, they never stopped booming the rudiments of doom into the dumb atmosphere.</p>
<p>Let me die before our faith is finally murdered by this fate.<br>
This fate that has sealed the lips of my father since the day<br>
he watched my mother being carried into slavery’s arm,<br>
He was amazed to see the parasites we call our leaders watch<br>
as his hope was left dim without enough palm oil to fuel its sustenance.</p>
<p>Kphhaaaaaaaa!<br>
That was all i saw as my sister was left disabled to satisfy their pleasure,<br>
Though in return, they satisfied her with an intense pressure,<br>
Leaving her to the care of ruin.</p>
<p>Just like they promised,<br>
We felt they were going to stop slamming our fragile hearts<br>
with the sledge of superiority,<br>
But beside the walls of their conscience are grown<br>
trees of hypocrisy, where birds with black scars perches till night retires.</p>
<p>Let me die before the moon gets slain,<br>
so I won’t be there to witness the night hosts<br>
gather to mourn her demise.<br>
Let me die to live in another world, a world<br>
where I can wield peace at my right palm<br>
and seat on the throne of serenity.</p>
