Detention Diary

about

Written for and about Nigerian poet and journalist, Ken Saro-Wiwa

lyrics

How long waiting? For a month and a day.
Ask your questions, I’ve got things to say.
Take this lantern, take it far away.
Write by pencil, in the light of the day.
Three birds singing for a view of the bay.
What happens after just a month and a day?
Time don’t tempt me, time won’t lead me astray.
Can you hear me dreaming? You can’t take that away.
Song birds singing, not a one got away.
We waited, patient, for a month and a day.
