The Coffin Carrying Courage

The requiem
Resounds,
The cries.

The tears
Cascade
On the city of coal.

The coffin carrying courage,
Clothed with cloth
Coloured green and white
Perch
Atop enu ugwu.

The bearded bard is here,
The masses
Are massed here
Moping tears,
Musing on their messiah.

From the bunker
Biafra
Bellows.
