WHO IS TO<br />

BLAME?<br />

By OLADEJO ABDULLAH FERANMI<br />

Descending from the body<br />

Comes the head <strong>of</strong> he who perished a nicer<br />

way<br />

In the hands <strong>of</strong> the men who seek fort in the<br />

bush<br />

But attention was paid more to emotional internal affairs<br />

Staking the souls <strong>of</strong> teens, fathers<br />

To face death in its vault. Who is to blame?<br />

Round, they sit now and then, fiddling<br />

Their games are from both standpoints. Unmasked,<br />

conspiracy<br />

Became the pass to rule, forgetting it's not to reign,<br />

The eternal curses, the souls <strong>of</strong> their puppets,<br />

The tears for their beloved, the dead man's mother<br />

Sets the suns even before dusk. Who is to blame?<br />

Who is to blame? The soil, a lot we met,<br />

Governed by our fathers, now pools blood. interstate,<br />

Religious disputes, with disputes in places<br />

Not worthy <strong>of</strong> calling home. Sit and pounder,<br />

You're the case, and it all emanated from you<br />

Labor on yourself before inquiring; “Who is to blame?”<br />
