Written By An SS 3 Girl Named Uren, GSS Manguna, Bokkos, Plateau State.
An eye witness account:
They say the world only burns when the fire reaches your doorstep. Otherwise, it is just another spectacle, a far-off smoke, a sound you can sleep through. It is all right, they say, all right to watch violence swallow others, so long as it is not us. So long as the ash does not settle on our roofs and the blood is not the colour of our kin. Some even say it is acceptable if it is our own doing the burning. Then, the silence is justified. The gain is holy.
But what happens when the flame forgets its lane?
It will. It always does.
