its been 6 months since the horrific kidnapping of the chibok girls, our government obviously not doing as much as they should, kudos to all those that had been spreading the word and fighting the fight. Though am just an helpless writer i'll continue fighting this battle the only way i know how to fight it; with my pen

BRING BACK OUR GIRLS

My poetic lines might not be so rigid
True my grammar might be laden with flaws
My efforts might well seem irrelevant
With the weapon I know best fight I shall
Useless am I with a gun in my hand
With my pen I’ll shoot till this war is won

Such news to which no mother wouldn’t have wept
My hands trembling from fear of man’s cruelty
My heart gloomed at how still our leaders kept
Your child would you’ve tend with such levity?
Love for the masses that they’ve never felt
Our lost girls very much a reality
All we are saying is “Bring back our girls”

Some ask, were they truly kidnapped or not?
For no list of the lost did see the light
Even if truly as said it was not
Is that a reason for us not to fight?
We ask would you bring back our girls or not?
Into the forest we’d march if you can’t
Ourselves we’re ready to “Bring back our girls”

The faceless mask that could be so inhumane
Such girls you’ve taken from their mother’s arm
What it is you want, that you never did name
Could it? Nah, boko was never haram
Or for the faith you’ve brought much hurt and shame
You could have let our girls write their exams
Yield ‘fore it’s too late and “Bring back our girls”

I’m amused you can sit and be at ease
Keeping locked doors at your commitment’s knock
Leaders! It’s time to fulfill your promise
More we’ll need not so Jonas than Goodluck
Their screem’ll torment till eternity cease
Their pain and cries never to leave the rock
If in the end you fail to “Bring back our girls”

Never can I say I know how you feel
Losing a child, that no mother can bear
That bond forged from love and stronger than steel
We know only that which we see and hear
Whereabouts of their girls no one could tell
‘cept he who knows that in darkness and clear
Appease this mothers and “Bring back our girls”

Almighty God, the one and the only
God of the Muslims as well as the west
Your name to forever remain holy
Our girls, we plead save them from the forest
In he who never fails we trust wholly
Here’s our best in your hands we leave the rest
Assured we are that you’ll “bring back our girls”.
