I cried when I saw the fire everywhere

With help to be found nowhere

It is a sight so pitiful

And a memory so painful.



Was it not yesterday

Full of life and hope for another good day

They all climbed aboard

Even the smiling hostesses were on board.



I saw their beautiful faces

Looking sassy and free from faze

Men and women from different facets

Every one of them flying to an ill fate.



Now they are all gone

Even those that are yet to be born

For this unbearable loss

Nothing can serve as a redress.



The wives of the victims are crying

The children of the deceased are weeping

The husbands of the dead are in desolation

And written all over our faces are despair and depression.



But what can we say

God gives and God takes

Under His bosom we pray they may stay

And never wander off like a little child who strays.



To the weeping wives, we bring comfort

To the crying children, we give support

The husbands, we console

And to all Nigerians, we should condole.



Memory is a way of holding on

To the people that keeps us on

To the things that keeps us rolling

With laughter when we remember what keeps us going.



We know that you are up there watching us

Although your departure with sorrow fills our hearts

But still we promise to bear your memories forever

For they shall never be forgotten, never.



We now know what it means to lose

For our system is so loose

But we pray that next time, our enemies will pray amiss

For our loved ones we still miss.
