As the decades roll by
Memories tend to fade away
Yesterday was October 19
Yet no newspaper headlines
Recalled the terrorist event
But, Deep down their hearts
In the cozy opulence
Of their “fortified” abodes
Their consciences prick
As the BOMB MEN
Tin gods of yesteryears
Await judgment day
On 19 October, 32 years ago
On a quiet Sunday morning
They stole the nation’s innocence
Via the cruel novelty
Of a LETTER BOMB
Thereafter
They covered tracks
Stalled investigations
Frustrated inquiries
But, no matter the antics
No amount of lies
Ever consume TRUTH
So long, great wordsmith
So long, investigative columnist
So long, Editor of Editors
So long, DELE GIWA
Keep Resting in Peace!
