Ode to departed souls



By Atok Dan

I’m talking to you departed souls,
many of you have gone,
but you seem silent over events unfolding,
why many of you have gone earlier,
it is you, colossal souls,
you sacrificial lambs of the struggle,
though you are not watchful,
your souls still linger in the wilderness,
in vacuum

I know most of you‘ve gone,
with no visible decent graves,
with no read obituaries
but the cause is worth it

It is you the gone souls,
A day is designated for you
to know, that you are still indelible in our memories,
it is July 30th of every year
21 days after our independence
On that day, we celebrate because of you
you had championed the course that claimed your souls
millions are not happy because of you
