Death is not the end.

Candlelight night, Alausa Ikeja, Lagos Nigeria.



What's dead may never die

For their death, brings victory nigh

Voices they've raised, the legacy shall not be erased

Our children unborn, shall sing their praise


What's dead may never die 

For democracy they've fought 

Freedom fight, their undying thoughts 

They still fight, in you and in me


What's dead may never die

Today's conqueror, tomorrow's victim

But I comfort in taking martyrdom 


For Jimoh

Sleek

Taiwo

Peter

Emmanuel 

Victor 

Chidi

And all others who lost their lives



A poem by Odiakose Ernest.
