A black day for a black man, in a black nation
A black day for a soza boy with allegations
Fought for Justice and the law became his accusation
Fought for environmental sanity and political environmentalist became the pollution
Equality and Justice was his tradition
To the government, it was an abomination
He was peaceful, yet became the most wanted
1995, Abacha’s most haunted
He was brought to trial,
False testimonies by fake witnesses
He’s pen became he’s fate
As history saved the date
You can kill a messenger,
But can never kill the message
