Nigeria’s Puzzling Crashes Poem by Kctony Xtopher Nkwocha

A puzzle remains unraveled…
Plane crashes in my country, mysteries.
The plane’s black boxes hint not even lies.
Life of our people betrothed to chance.
We do nothing but think…
Just thinking, mere speculation…
I think the crash is as a result of… Oh!
This unscientific statement bombards our ears.
Have we not exhausted our tears?
What of words for condolences—written and spoken?
God’s fortitude for untimely irreparable losses
Caused by our carelessness and inhumanity
Has drained- out in the heavenly well.
Is this a technique for reducing the population?
I wonder… Really, I wonder!
Will the ADC crash be an ADC;
A security consciousness to our aviation?
The demise of these hundreds
will be avenged only if… If
a repetition is averted.
