1. 1995: Ken Saro-Wiwa by Kirsty Knaggs

    Brave warrior of words, your voice

    inspired, empowered, inflamed.

    ‘Rise up in peaceful protest till

    Ogoni is restored.’

    Incarceration couldn’t crush

    you – execution tried.

    Ideas cannot be put to death

    though; words cannot be chained.

    Ken Saro-Wiwa’s legacy:

    advancement of the cause –

    Ogoni’s song now resonates

    across the watching world.
