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.
Just yesterday,
At Saint Academy School,
A two storey building collapsed,
Children killed and trapped.
Their tears flowed like river nile,
Blood boiling poto poto,
As it flows to gutters like urine,
Some sucked by the hungry soil.
Like a natural disaster,
It came to torment parents,
The stings of death perched on many roofs,
An entire family wiped.
Many homes in painful laughters,
Some mourning in aches,
While others mourn in feast,
Blaming the innocent devil.
Plateau state is bereaved,
For their sons and daughters,
Have gone home untimely,
To either rest in peace or pieces.
Consolation will visit many homes,
To comfort the bereaved families,
And rekindle in them hope,
Weeping may endure for many nights,
Joy comes in the morning.

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is a elegy. It reflects on the tragedy event that happened in Jos, where a school building collapsed and killed many pupils and students. It was a black Friday in Jos and Nigeria at large. May the souls of the deceased rest in peace. Amen.
