You killed them
When you stripped them naked before a billion eyes
When you brushed all their pleas as lies
And paraded them around the town
To satisfy the gory pleasures of the crown
You killed their hopes and dreams
As you stood and watched their blood flow like streams
And ignored their anxious screams
Cos’ in your minds they are condemned thieves
Like worthless leaves
You bashed their heads with careless sticks
Rugged rocks
Like condemned cocks
Even when they died, you continued to kill
Aluu, you continued to kill
Aluu, you shed innocent blood
Blood which will soil your progressive cord
Blood which has flown into your roots
Blood which will enslave your boots
This blood will taint the horizon above your lands
And depress the outputs of your hands
This blood which you roasted, smiling
Will awaken and avenge itself, standing
Ugonna, Tekena, Lloyd and Chidiaka
Are up there with their maker
But, they will come back
Aluu, they will come back.
