Remembrance Day

Rating: 5.0


Lagos,
Monday January 15,2001.
Dusk at daybreak,
Piercing wind brought the rains.

It was suppose to be harmattan. It is hammer-time.
The cloud is sober, waiting with saber,
Men in starched khaki will march today.
They will remember the fallen heroes. Eye call some herons.

The people will muse over a decayed past,
For the weather has set a mood of gloom
For a retrospect of doom.
