Just a few weeks ago.
How were we to know.
At Kasumbalesa border post.
It was death's host.
Sixty driver drivers perished.
Their lives just vanished.
One hundred trucks destroyed.
Where they once were is a beep void.
It was late afternoon the sun was high.
The explosion left many to cry.
The heat was too much for the tanker.
No this is no prank.
At 45'c thirty thousand litres of fuel exploded.
Ripped open the earth and left it eroded.
Bodies and truck parts hurled through the air.
Like a news paper blown by wind of a chair.
Flames leaping up black smoke filling the sky.
As we look on in shock we ask why.
Why so violently ripped from this life.
Pain cutting through us like a knife.
We lose our brothers to death.
See them release their last breath.
It was a dark summer's day.
For their sole we must pray.
