A POEM 4 THE ALUU 4 - BLACK FRIDAY IN ALUU - ALU!


Initially you were worried of the shame of being stripped naked in full of the view crowed

The shame suddenly turned into fear for your dear life...

They beat you so badly; you could not mutter a word...

 Your heart was saying "please, please wait we’re not thieves" but your mouth would not move...

 You were tired, aching and gasping for the breathe of life...

 You looked at the crowd and you see children, men and women that are your fellow country men...

 Shock met disbelieve...

 Your hearts cried for help, you were thinking it was a dream that this can not be happening.

 
They are not going to kill us...

 You wanted to wake up so that you dream no more...But sadly enough, the dream was not an illusion but apparent reality...You shouted somebody help! Your dad was not there to feel your pain...

 Your Mum was not there to hear your cry for help...Your Brothers and Sisters were somewhere on their daily businesses, while you 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 you were thinking...No they won't burn us...No No No! the fire came...the sun came so hot...You hoped for the rain that will never come...oh the pain...so unbearable....Then there was silence and peace...You crossed over to eternity, waving your hands to your lifeless body...

Finally you found rest from your tormentors...You were betrayed...betrayed by the person who won't pay his debt and dare turned  on you and watched  you die in such anguish...

Betrayed by the community who made so many assumptions and exercised their jungle judgment on you...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 for whatever reason, you deserve this gruesome judgment…betrayed by any human being who what ever reason thinks any circumstance around your death was justified by the judgment you were served.

NO ONE SHOWED MERCY!

NO ONE SHOWED COMPASSION!

BETRAYAL WRITTEN ALL OVER THEIR FACES AS THEY HACKED YOU GUYS TO DEATH
