LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT REFUNDS 145 FORMER SUBSCRIBERS OF EGAN HOUSING ESTATE

How shall we call the children
And tell them, “Your friend is dead”?
How shall we call the parents
And tell them, “Your child is no more”?
How shall we tell these things?
How shall we look ourselves in the eye
And whisper, “Our children are gone”?
How shall we bear the weight of knowing
We traded our children for peanuts?
How shall we tell these things?
Innocent ones robbed of life,
Innocent ones cast into the abyss
Of a dark and merciless world.
How shall we stand before our Maker
And confess, “We could not keep our children safe”?
How shall we tell these things?
