Poem On June 12 Martyr by OKURINMETA: 3:57pm On Jun 12, 2012

Siting in this hall today
memory reminds me not to forget
The sacrificial lambs and scape goats
Of our beloved geographical entity NIAGARA
With bruised faces , broken legs and arms
You championed the course of eternity
When you laid down all for what you desperate believed in
Locked in jails and rotten in custody
Yet you did not give up the only remedy
With fire in your broken bones and dunamis in your lion hearts
You confronted hell and set the captives free by being a prisoner yourself
You were an hero who ran from pillar to post like fugitives
Having the live of a king yet you choose to serve as slaves
What greater love did you possess that made you lay down your life for the ones you love
Just because of your sacrifice 19 years ago
We moved out of Babylon and we are heading to our promised land
In a land flowing with milk and honey
You all tasted pain and sorrow
To all the martyr of JUNE 12..... I HAIL THEE
