Notice of absence from Jude Chukwuemeka Muoneke
I will surely get back to you when I come online.
I will surely get back to you when I come online.
Life unfair to many,
Society a stage,
Brutality here and there,
Victims helpless to their fates.
The walls have ears,
Tears echo from orphanage homes,
Children the victim
of circumstances.
We are all victims,
Hardship and hunger
slap many faces,
Poverty the garment of laughter.
Behind the walls
lie helpless victims
whose hopes are shattered,
by leaders who oil their pains.
Tears of helpless victims
flow like a river,
Their fates undecided,
Many pharoahs
have mounted the corridors of power.
Hope calls from afar,
A hope of a New Nigeria,
Who will the cap fit?
Intergrity a virtue,
We must be Obidiently Yusuful.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem reflects on hopelessness of the masses in the phase of hunger, pain, killings and homelessness. Leaders in the corridors of power seem to be helpless in the masses' situations. There are many victims behind the walls going through a lot. Many are wishing for death to end the misery that has kept them in perpetual fear and starvation.
