Abuja

You died
When the bomb went off
Ten thousand kilometers away
You felt its impact
It shook you to your core

It is sickening
How we can do this to ourseleves
The lavish living is sickening
The negligence is sickening
The apathy is sickening

You let go
When you realized your prayers had never actually reached heaven
They just hung there
A few inches below your cieling
Simmering

And all the poems that you will ever write
Will never save you
Or your beloved country
Or its people
Or your future

It is aggrevating
Painful
Hurful
Disgusting
Bewildering

You died
When the bomb went off
Ten thousand kilometers away
And you felt its impact
It shook you to your very core
