There’s Poetry in Gunshots – Oluwafemi Ojosu

There’s poetry in gunshots

that only the brave can hear,

but even heroes know when to get scared.

---

Free speech is for the living

dead men tell no tales

a slip of the tongue

a slit of the throat

another drop of wine for courage

in a world filled with chaos and conflict.

---

There’s poetry in gunshots

that only the brave can hear

Paying the price of freedom for other men

---

Life is more than just a dream

but how far ahead can we see?

Red, the blood of angry men

Screaming revolution

In this eternal Damnation

Mon dieu! it’s a Damned evolution!

---

There’s poetry in gunshots

that only the brave can hear,

And I hear them loud and clear.

Oluwafemi is an eclectic gentlemen whose curiosity killed the proverbial cat. When he’s not busy positing on how to make Nigeria great again on echoesandthoughts.wordpress.com, you will find him on twitter ranting @TheRains94.
