The crowd witnessing any incident however serious will eventually disperse with or without slogans of no practical value. Here also the naturality has been depicted by the learned poetess. Thank you
This piece of excellence also heroizes the writer, it deifies the writer too.

Chukwuma, you just blew me away with your comments. I am humbled and amazed. I feel the same or more about your writing too! I wonder how you can appreciate my simple and straight lines so much! You have deified me and I feel rather nervous at the thought that how much less I deserve in reality! Just a 'Thank you' is not enough! But thank you and thank you! !
I wish those things shouldn't have been happened at all. But that what it was, thanks for such emotional poem, Valsa.
