Requiem For Effium. (to Effium Community Of Ebonyi State)

This morning is night in Effium A place united by penury and divided by prosperity!

Today the funeral of Effium began With children and women taken to slaughter In the name of the unnamed soldier. The dog has gotten a name that fits the gallows And the baptizers can now rest As their allies draw their aspirations with bloody pens

And guns that make us statesmen without cradles. Eyes have seen things But in that clink of episcopal and royal chalices To cheer the desolation of Effium The child died on the laps of its mom! Relapsed in finitude Awaiting queries for bold violators Of peace and ceasefire accords We chant, Ojileka togbooooooo! Copyright ©️ Eze, Monday 07:30 hrs 28:10:23
