A POSSIBLE SOLUTION #2

The shouting increased
Sure sounded like it
My heart beat faster
Then ached

Maybe I should stop
Try reasoning
No no no
Oh! I'm so gone

Death was inches away
My legs wouldn't run faster
I looked back

Many were they
Was that a machete?
That was definitely a gallon
But of what?
I swallowed

That was when I felt it
I staggered
Another came

I shook upon realisation
I'm being stoned!
Then I fell




I cried
I'm not guilty!
I did nothing!
But my voice was lost  in the crowd
So much shouting
Screaming
Felt the world closing in

Instinctively I knelt
Pleading
Begging
Then the fluid poured

Into my eyes
my pants
My armpit
My shoes
Cold and warm

I said my last prayer
It burned painfully
I thought of mum and ify
My friends

I heard the horn in the distance
Too late it was
I was breathing my last
How did I get here again....

Jungle justice is the new societal plaque that has spread across Nigeria and is practiced by almost all the states of the federation. What then should be done? Even if one is guilty of a crime, aren't there laws in place to adequately punish such? The rate at which it is being ignored is not right. The story was that the popular Aluu community was wiped out but is that a solution? Evil for evil? These are some of the reasons we have the law makers and the law enforcers. Laws should be put in place against it, federal law to be precise with killing of participants as the punishment but would that be a possible solution?

    Oh.. very touching.. This really got me.. reading it felt like i was reading one popular graphic novel "Sin City".

    I know this news is old but the acts are still up to date as they did the same thing in the community were i live in weeks ago. though the victim was guilty but I still think this is not the way to go about it. This is the 21st century, the accused should be trialed and sentenced if found guilty. taking laws into our hands is pour hypocrisy.

      Am glad it got you, lol. Awareness needs to be made on this and the evil part is that they always look like they are enjoying it.

    So emotional. "Then the fliud poured" The Keyword for me in this poem is FLUIDS. The fluid could be blood, or tears. It is not a happy one.

I WILL MARRY A MAN WITH A BUGGATTI

Some people will judge before they read this post and that's welcome. I'm starting with one of my favorite things to talk about, relationships. The mouth is a powerful tool, even the bible says so. The earth, heavens, nature and God listens when we speak so I speak to my future that I shall be married to a man with bugatti and I implore you to do the same. Buggatti as some of us know is one of the biggest and expensive cars as at now but buggatti in this context somewhat differs. I will marry a man with a bugatti means I will marry a man with a future, that is, a man who knows what he wants and is working towards it, It means I will marry a man with financial stability to take care of a family at the time we are getting married, it means I'll marry a man with God.
