Read Time:35 Second
I saw the video
I saw their faces
I heard the story
I heard their grunts
I reached for tears
I reached for breath
I found both
I found rage
Their hearts, burnt
Their lives, lost
Their ways, mean
Their days, dark
Beasts of us
Beats of gloom
Curses rain
Verses sway

And before the fire was lit, I heard a beast yell, “Dis wan na akporuka, e neva die!“
Gbam came the thud of his plank on the head of one of the victims.
Tears welled in my eyes!
