A Tortured Life Poem by Ama Alma Okigbo
A Tortured Life
What hears but does not see
What cries but can't scream
Oh, a tortured life
It is about to begin
When someone hears a gunshot but no gun
When the love for a nation is gone
Oh, a tortured life
It has begun
The killings that strike go on and on
The crimes that threaten to darken the moon
And the sorrow that stifles the cry
So ends the tale
But reality continues its story
