A RED LETTER DAY

It was a sad day
a day darker than the dead of a night
a day of confusion
feet denied the adorning protection
what was meant for the feet became the burden of the hand
it was a race were baton can't be changed
the vulture having it's day
the pullet denied shelter
it was the survival of the fittest
souls crying to be saved
aftermath of death and agony
indelible it stuck on the walls
like wild gum on tree trunks
negligent of the kinsmen.

This is a tragedy that can never be easily fogotten by Nigerians. Just like the sep 11 to the USA. But this was an internal attack whereby hundreds of buildings were destroyed and many lives were lost also making citizens refugee in thier own father-land.
Moreover such could have been averted but owing to the nonchallant attitude of he people at the top of affairs in my country expired expolsive were left in the armoury which was situated within the city.
It later back-fired when he expolsive exploded and to worsen the case no proper informaion was given as to what was going on due to this, people were runing wihout seeing what was after them. By this, lots got hooked in the swamp, also due to lost of electical power supply.
