You were tired, aching and gasping 4 the breath of life... You look at the crowd and u see children, men and women that are ur fellow country men... Shock met disbelieve... Your hearts cried 4 help. You were thinking it was a dream, that this cannot be happening. They are not going to kill us...
You wanted to wake up so that u dream no more... But sadly enough, the dream was not an illusion but apparent reality... You shouted, Somebody Help! Please Somebody Help!.
Your Dad was not there to feel ur pain... Your Mum was not there to hear ur cry 4 help... Your Brothers & Sisters...were somewhere on their daily businesses, while u were dying somewhere in Aluu community... You were so badly beaten. You were hoping just to die so that it will all end... Then came the Petrol...and u were thinking... No they wont burn us... No No No Nooo! The fire came... The sun became so hot... You hoped 4 the rain which will never come... Oh the Pain... So Unbearable...
Then there was silence and peace... You crossed over to eternity, waving ur hands to ur lifeless body... Finally u found rest from ur tormentors. You were betrayed... ...betrayed by the person who won't pay his debt and dare turn on u and watch u die in such anguish. ...betrayed by the community who made so many assumptions and exercised their jungle judgement on u. ...betrayed by those who stood by and enjoyed this injustice. ...betrayed by the authorities that has no immediate response to community uproar. ...betrayed by every observer who thinks 4 whatever reason, u deserve this gruesome judgment. ...betrayed by any human being who whatever reason thinks any circumstance around ur death was justified by the judgment u were served. NO ONE SHOWED MERCY! NO ONE SHOWED COMPASSION! BETRAYAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THERE FACES AS THEY HACKED YOU GUYS TO DEATH... BY Andrea Chike.
