Kindly resist the slavery mentality to want to go back to Egypt when your prayer for a promise land is being answered.

Today we gather together to light the candles
Of souls fallen
We lit the candles in one Accord
Sorrows in our heart
And grief in the atmosphere
We lost good ones
Sons and daughters of the last generation
Fallen to the evil of a corrupt society
My brothers weep
My sisters weep
Aluta continua
They might have fallen
But they never fell in vain
Their falls brought to rise a generation
Of Accord
A generation who were once silent
A generation no longer divided
A generation United in strength
Today we light the candles
not just for the fallen soldiers
But for the hope of a better tomorrow
A tommorow when we shall speak
And our voices will be heard
A tomorrow when our society shall be purged of all ills
A tomorrow where my unborn child
Shall be free to roam the streets of Port Harcourt a free man
No longer in chains or cuffs
A tomorrow where we are truly liberated

The past few days,
Have knocked us up both ways.
It all began well, things were so dope,
Then they struck and snatched our hope.

It's been dark days and hard times,
People were made to witness heinous crimes.
Many lost their friends and loved ones,
To our leader's cruelty and hired guns.

Some many are struggling emotionally,
Others are wounded and down mentally.
This is when we need to be each other's strength,
Help your friends and neighbors gather their breath.

Encourage the weak and oppressed,
Check up regularly on the depressed.
Extend a hand of fellowship,
Give a hug in friendship.

Take this from me; it will be alright,
Weeping only endures for the night.
This gloom and darkness will not dwell,
For even in the well; all is well.

To those who are black and blue,
May the grace of God see you through.
To those who mourn,
Hold on for just around the corner, is the break of dawn.

Nobody told the government that the parents whom they cut their legs would birth Children with wings.

This Generation is The Generation.
We will take back our freedom.

"Oh God of creation, direct our noble cause".

The world is slowly becoming saner.
Like it never happened,
People are laughing again,
But the blood still stains the streets.

Maybe it's just me,
Maybe I imagined it,
Cos people died and now,
It's seems nobody noticed.

All these while I have only murmured,
Like a slave, I have laid for so long at your beck and call,
Request upon request I have made but only in my dreams or as silent whispers.
Never have I dared to face your strength or my weakness.
At my arousal you keep silent?
Still I have reason to continue, with earth as my witness I will no longer stay quiet, your silence or anger will only push me to fight further and rest never until a land I am proud of is born.
My words aren't distorted only your truth are.

Those who refuse to fight today lose the chance to settle their differences tomorrow. Those who refuse to take a stand today lose the chance to be liberated tomorrow. Those who refuse to fight for their right today lose their privileges to freedom and peace tomorrow.

Fight now! Take a stand now!! Speak up now -- Omo Nigeria, within and outside, E Soro Soke...!!!

WE ARE NOT FOOLS

They must think we are fools;
Gullible enough to believe any
Balderdash they feed us.

They sold a dog just to
Replace it with a monkey.
My people, isn't that the same thing?

If they were killing and maiming us
with their ordinary weapons and tactics
leading up to this point;

Isn't it going to be worse now
that they have been given
special weapons and advanced tactics?

We don't need a change of name,
We need a holistic overhaul.
Total reforms are what we ask for.

Sally and her parents rushed to the hospital and met Mellissa at the waiting room crying. "Sally, Tacha couldn't make it" "What happened" Sally's dad asked. "After the bridal shower, we were heading to the club and SARS stopped us, they demanded for our IDs, searched the car and when they found nothing they asked for our phones. They got Tacha's phone and demanded for her bank app password, she refused and started struggling to get back her phone and the next thing I heard was a gunshot and Tacha on the floor in a pool of blood" ...

You started off on a bad note,
The unrest was an indication of danger, yet we never saw this horror in you.
We will never forget the murder of our unarmed youths who fought for a better country by the government and how bloody and dark of a Tuesday you were to us. Please go away and never return.
