POETRY OF CONSCIOUSNESS: "END SARS-POLICE BRUTALITY" BY CYRA

We just thought of myths 
look reality to death 
killing being like a routine 
ooh poor justice 

We thought for perfect ruling 
but hence government is on us but not for us 
ooh poor Nigeria 
why didn't we knew earlier 

Screams of agony 
wails at dawn mornings 
loud cries without tones 
ooh Nigerians for whom are we 

Thousands are injured 
hundreds are now under the tunnel 
still brutality is demanding more 
we lack the communication channel 
ooh poor Nigeria 

What can we do?
 police with no humanity 
treating us in harsh brutality 
end SARS is our unity 

Our mothers raped in front of us 
our sisters beyond human and sexually harassed 
Dads and sons killed for no mercy 
children running all over 

Happy faces appear on the rivers of blood 
our own soldiers painting our own black colour red 
sufferings chaos all sort of evils 
we thought democracy would have worked 
but...
democracy vitiated to autocracy 

Our own flag weeps 
Nigeria itself bleeds 
humiliated individuals pleads 
my weapon much screeds .

Ooh Nigeria!
for how long will we suffer 
our hope is no longer with us 
death is no longer a fate.

DRIPPING PEN 
(CYRA THE POET)

The poet persona laments over the reduction of human lives and properties by the Nigerian POLICE, SARS. This bard adds that this body should be halted from operation in Nigeria.
