Like April showers bullets rained down
Leaving students soaked in profuse blood
The new God came down like a ton of bricks
Students crushed and 14 lives expired?
Screams poignant enough to puncture eardrums
Helter Skelter and ringing heads
Heads inundated with noise filling the valleys of the mind
Gusting through the brain and bloodstream
Dust clouds form as students run to safe lives
Theirs’ and that of others
Defenseless but brave
State Securities operating with impunity
Green souls evaporated with unfulfilled promises left behind
Legacy so thick and suffocating
A dark story that exudes a stale chilliness
Now ingrained in the minds of mothers and country
Perished lives will rest in peace
While survivors struggle and show courage
Unpaid medical bills and hospital evictions
From London to Egypt as the games continue
Newspapers ignore relevant dates and incidents
Empty spaces given to meaningless other news
A cocktail of denial and arrogance served daily
When will the April Nightmare end?
