There are no butterflies in heaven
Bade Fuwa 1995 (lagos)
I was awake but I was dead.
The tales were all lies
There was no song but a deafening ring the blind would hear
I took a walk and all the faces were blurry Everything was blurry
Oh! We are not supposed to see
Then I could feel a soft landing on my shoulder A giant boulder
Then a silent whisper...
There are no butterflies here.
