Tell them you were there
When the big eyes monster tell a kneeling mother 'go and die'
And the bigger monster 'don't give a damn'
Tell them, you have seen the Freys murder a mother and her five children
at the black Sunday in Ikeja
Let them know you saw
The Madalla blast
Baga massacres and Herdsmen sack towns and villages in Benue and
Taraba
Ask them who account
For the many unaccounted lives lost
In Slaver's bay of Buni Yadi and Gwoza
And in the fighting pits on the wake of Odi massacre
Let them know you were in the crowd
When 'constituted authority'
Constitutes a nuisance
But let them know
