Aloof
Aloof
She cringed in pain and fear
As she zigs and zag
across the lonely and troubled paths
she wobbles as she is pelted with rocks
sticks and troubled minds
She Pants thus filled with dread
as she scanned the fiery faces
Of friends now turn foes
Hungry for her pain
Lusting for her blood
Eager for her death
Beclouded with fear
She longed for hope
Clinging to herself
she is lost to fate
even as she holds on to her faith
A Dirge for Deborah Yakubu
