The Hanging Of 10th November (Poem)

[Chidi Anthony Opara, FIIM]

By Chidi Anthony Opara

The wheel rotated,

Friends became enemies,

Karma delivered as usual.

The hanging on 10th November

Makes me neither

Happy nor sad,

I am indifferent.

I was a Biafran child,

My source 

Of protein was blocked

In a war I know nothing about,

I had kwashiorkor.

My siblings,

My cousins 

Had kwashiorkor too.

Some died,

Some were deformed,

Some survived but lost faith

In the nationhood charade.

The hanging on 10th November

Makes me neither

Happy nor sad,

I am indifferent.
