Forgiveness is king
By Emeka Azuine

Hatred comes from hearts
That have drowned their love
Enmity thrives in hearts
For whom God means no love.
War comes from hearts
That have dwarfed their brotherhood
Mayhem grows amidst faults
Unreconciled for the boom of good.
Forgiveness blossoms from hearts
That discover triumph in humility
Vendetta moulds around hearts
Like caves plundered by brutality.
When emotions trample over wisdom
We must step backwards and pause
For revenge is like a curse
It denies souls the triumph of freedom.
(This has been an elegy to victims of anti-Miss world riots in Nigeria)
