Jungle Justice

Princess Osariemen Aihie

Being pursued by a mob of people

Faces scary and fearless

Holding sticks and daggers

Ruthless and belligerent;

Like lions;

look for who to devour

Coming after me

A rubber tyre over my neck

Ready to light a spark

begging and begging

Like a beggar

Almost dieing;

Gasping for breath

Dieing for a crime;

I know nothing about

In a haste;

To light the fire

Getting burnt;

as a matyr

 

Being accused of stealing;

Which i never did

Dieing a painful death

A painful death of humanity

Jungle Justice

    Great topic, makes me think about how far we have to come when it comes to justice. Even in the most progressive courts the innocent can be found guilty

    Quite hard hitting write on todays street justice systems around the world, in a lot of cities and countries the mob rule and deliver what they call justice, regardless of fact. Well spoken piece
