Notice Board Poem by Cephas Rotimi Oluwaseyitan

November six, Nineteen Ninety-two
Ocean of people standing before the Notice Board
Trumpeting at a high pitch like an Africa elephant-
In search of her lost one
Chorusing thier complaint like the barbarian.....
Extremely out of control

Bouncing thier grievances off the Notice Board
Over the information of a change in the tuition
Another injustice directed at the student populace
Riot imminent; conflict looming, unrest ominous
Death- the aftermath; rioting failed to accomplish the desire result...
.....we are back on the Notice board.
