– for the student-police clash in FUOYE on 10th September, 2019

Remember!
Remember!
The tenth grain in September.
The shootings and killings,
The stoning and brutality.
Innocent lives wasted in struggle.
Our listening ears turned against us,
Turned its back and pronounced unto us death.

As one, we arose to fight for our right.
Peace we wanted, calamity we were given.
Gunshots shamelessly fired,
Still, we were not tired.
An eye for an eye,
A tooth for a tooth.

On the tenth grain of September,
An icon, we shall remember.
And whose name shall remain on our calendars.
We shall seek justice all together
September, oh! September,
A month to remember.
