A Tale of Two Tragedies PDF Print E-mail
By Babatunde Fajimi
21 July 2006

Machine birds were flying over Lebanon

 

And Beirut became a desolate city

 

A big bang was heard in Lagos

 

Tens buried under rumble

 

Two tragedies, two causes

 

Two tragedies, two motives

 

Two tragedies, two destinies

 

Two tragedies, two casualties

 

Halt the shelling, halt the bombing

 

Little children want to come out to play

 

End the greed, end the substandard qualities

 

Souls hurried to eternity flew away on the wingless dream rocket
