Christmas was some hours away <br />Goats, chickens & rams await their fate <br />Kids & folks all in dire expectation of the D-Day, i hung out with a date <br />The evil that befell men that day has no equal or mate <br />Greedy men & women ventured into a lucrative but deadly business <br />of vandalizing pipelines and bunkering fuels, the public wealth; an act of foolishness <br />Boom! Gbua! There was an explosion <br />The unfortunate insatiable citizens met their waterloo! <br />Lagos was aggrieved; hot tears flowed across the nation <br />Men and women were roasted like yummy barbecues <br />On Christmas day about 7: 30am, the scene was an eyesore <br />Irritated you will feel if i tell you all that i saw <br />Inquisitive folks gazed tirelessly, there were thousands of queues <br />The 'roasted meats' got more than they bargained for <br />So much for their craze for a pleasurable Christmas <br />They were all buried together; amass!<br /><br />Adebayo Smartfingers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-day-lagos-wept/
