What Happened To Us? Poem by Beloved Adejuyigbe

This is where it all ends,
Where I loathe my pains,
Where friends become fiends,
Where pains drafted strains,
Where my emotions ignited fears,
And I feel so dwindled
Like a scarlet thread
through the needle.

What happened to us
Where did we get it all wrong,
How did peace lobby to chaos,
How we weren't so strong
When we drifted apart
Like the infliction of apartheid,
What would happen to us
In the midst of all this chaos.
