LEKKI MASSACRE
The shooter was the looter
but we're still not ready for that
lights off rifles up and running
it's hurting how men with blood did that
Sons,daughters
mothers and fathers snatched
the stained flags bled and cry
the moon and stars watched and mourn
The cloud heavy and and broken
earth fell upon my pounding heart
the heart beat's away from the chest
felt life running out of my breathe
the story was clear as a day that night
The father's rifle shot his sons on sight
though the shameless father at dawn denied
nature will remain a witness till justice arrive
This is where I stop to write
this is where my flowing tears needs a wipe
I'm glad that on this day I've write
for this is my way of making my heroes come alive
1958
