ALLEGATION

A painful cry 

Tears woven in the passing harmattan wind 

sprawled angrily at us

Left great valor by the roadside 

trees sway left to right in your honor 

 Lungs contract and relax to draw out 

a horrible scene of murder

Amongst the chirped dirges of midnight

Leaves shed tears in agony 

of your Mighty departure.

Grass folded in sorrow of your demise,

For your innocent blood 

Spilled as sacrifice in a lonely spot 

that housed both courageous and cowards

Muslin by dark pages of time.

A soul worth million lives

taken wildly by a wild-beast 

Under acres of disperse darkness 

Where murder is no longer murder 

But photos of a useful crime scene.

Your enemy thrives well in the blind side 

of the world where there is no eye to see 

A lonely journey you embark alone 

In the escort of tree-trunks 

Accompanied by breathless hellos 

And Silent goodbyes.
