"She" written by Youpele Michael (on Nairaland and other social networks goes with the moniker Youpele52) Source: https://www.wattpad.com/270454897-fantasy-seventy-sevens-28-she Black rugged Toyota hilux 2013 model galloping Meandering through almost treeless Savannah Dust clouded the roaring hilux piggybacking Captured students whose school and town Were buried in flames. Fiery sun showed no mercy Flames puffed gloomy smoke as it swallowed the dead, living, and everything man-made Dust and gloomy smoke fought for airspace Perfume from the horror could scare death itself. Unknown gunman 1: Bu ka ju sata (translation: shut your mouth) Students sobering as they inhale a whiff of death each Mostly girls wept sore, tears raining cats and dogs Unknown gunman 2: Bruan kabrooka. Mo go lorita so ba vusha, saba saba. Matalaka bo jo ruka na ka Mandelaza zaman so a a a kuta (translation: don't mind this ingrates. We're doing you all real good taking you all from your parents, fake pastors and evil imams who don't know the real God.) Unknown gunman 1: A a a gra baka datphum blac yan Gramddela ma ma ma ma ven zit net li pak fi ti kili kan synagoguez, mosquez, acada, matata, kwakwa Jam jam, a a a blac mphthimi be fi to kili kwa (translation: you all should be thanking us for giving you freedom. Freedom from your oppressors. Those evil oppressors who have brainwashed you for years. Sing praises to God because he made this day possible for you all and that you're not among those girls and boys that were burnt inside churches, mosques, schools and market places) Unknown gunman 2: Bwa ba ya milik. Baraca tata fi malee mamme, si kili Yo jo tata fi gron bo lo makmak ki dili balatara jo go lo Ki koloko tit tot van darf zoom fadar. Fadar Ra ba zolo (translation: prepare your hearts you weaklings. From today you girls will be made women. And you boys be turned into real men according to the teaching of our holy prophets. You'll be taught how to make war for God, make unbelievers believers. Like what we're doing now.) Unknown gunman 1: Joom chum numbre? (translation: How many of them are here) Unknown gunman 3: u, dee, trac, qu, pen, see hep, okt, no, den, den-u, aplang den-dee, (translation: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11, and 12) Unknown gunman 1: Fadar Ra prysy. Zom fi kili kat mat reeree (translation: not bad, God be praised. More will be recruited into his just course. Praise God. All Unknown gunmen: Fadar Ra prysy (translation: God be praised.) Unknown gunman 4: Pada hili kumram dee-den (translation: the other hilux carried more than 20 each) Unknown gunman 1: Fada Ra prysy All Unknown gunmen: Fada Ra prysy Capturee 1: Malamala laka de fi kili meek real Fadar. Uu mas pas ta ug nam bu la ta Fadar ka ra (translation: I am a true worshipper of God, what you're practicing is not what the prophets taught. You evil people are bringing bad name to our religion. You're not God's soldiers) Of one the unknown gunmen's AK 47 barked Inserting its bullet which gave the little parroting boy A kiss of death, blood fountained from his skull Rained on the students, whose wailed shut the sun Unknown gunman 5: Paga lan Tara pon rutada We kan fi jo nude pant zi look bozo saba ata (translation: we'll kill as many as, that will try to escape or talk ill of this righteous course that all of you will be part of soon) Dusk, but the sun seem to smiling at 'em still Fear enveloped all the students who're sobering still, silently. Cold winds waved the hilux sideways Tyres screeching, gearbox neighing, Hearts racing faster than the hilux in a dash {Speaking faintly in pigin English} Capturee 2: they're not looking at us but the front road. Let's move with our buttocks towards that opening. Then we'll jump out together. She: hmmm hmmm {fearfully nodding her head in agreement} They both put their lives in their butt Joggle 'em, moving slowly, butt by butt Mopping streams of blood as they move on their butt It took a century to get to the tailgate of the hilux Both hands tied but feet loosed, he rolled off the hilux, she did the same but broke her wrist He hurriedly untied her feet and hands She removed the her blind fold and they both Usian Bolted....

Unknown gunman 1: Guna ta pa (translation: shoot them) Capturee 2: Run! I'll cover you up. Don't run straight. Run zig zag. Bullets glided through the dusty cloud Looking for its target, sprinting faster than its target The closest ones went by her left ear Raising her ear's temperature to 90 degrees She and he, didn't stop Usian Bolting Neither did the bullets stop pursuing One of the bullets knocked his backhead and took him straight to hades She couldn't notice, fear numbed four of her senses The sound of the bullets withered She was let alone for the desert to terminate her A heap of sand held her leg, introduced her to the earth Which kissed her effortlessly as she fell, 'til she had enough Motionless like a dead body, she remained for hours The sun waved her goodbye Evil birds crowed bye Ants crawled by Only the desert cold welcomed her. She dug and buried herself in the sand Slept for half a day and quarter The overheated sand ejected her from her selfmade sand blanket Half awake, she looked 0 to 360 degrees. No one human in sight, no tree, heavy sun, No animal visible, few birds flew across the sky Making attempt to turn her into their lunch She shoo them away, squeezed her stomach Reached out for an ant that bit her crushed it with her hand and ate it. So hungry. She felt droplets of blood on her school skirt It came from her left ear She held onto it, but it was almost falling off Screamed in agony as she tore it off She washed off the sand from it with her spittle Then she put it in her mouth. Chew and swallow. Some sense of satisfaction swept through her soul She lay back on the heated sand and napped Dusk and dawn again Sleep was never far away. When the sun was at its peak she felt a cold object It was like an oasis in a 49 degrees hell fire hot afternoon. This oasis moved around her body Cooling off the steam on her exposed skin Her eyes opened thankfully to see What her eyes saw took her off her feet She screamed, flung the snake Running, running running, running Her body ran and passed the baton to her soul, her soul ran and passed the baton to her spirit, her spirit ran and passed the baton to her body, The relay had no finish line She ran till she fell for exhaustion. She welded her eyes fearfully waiting the worse Seconds passed by, the snake didn't show up Minutes passed by, the snake didn't show up Hours passed by, the snake didn't show up She almost forgot what she was running away from. From a snake? From her abductors? From her burnt school and town? From her burnt family members? From her fear? Or from the worse that could happen after all these? Yesterday was her birthday The day before yesterday was very frightful It wiped off her memory Of her plans for her 14th birthday Her survival was more important than anything else. She opened her eyes, The moon watched in crescent amazement The light of the moon was less important than light she saw Glows of electric bulbs, hundred kilometers away She stood up fearlessly and began walking Towards the light. |

"SHE TOO" written by Youpele Michael, is the 29th poem in my poetry collection FANTASY SEVENTY SEVENS. "She Too" is a sequel to the 28th poem in the collection. She Too https://www.wattpad.com/278111725-fantasy-seventy-sevens-29-she-too Metal spring bed shrilly shrieking, undulating with a rhythmical feeling Alternately dilating and shrinking, quasialternately, hopping and sinking In an almost dark camp tent, Being bathed by an hellish sun that's unpenitent. He pounced on me having cognizance I'd give no bump heads to his advance. He threw wide my legs, my skirt ascended. Graved my arms. Eyes squirts, my already dead innocence nailed again Lil adolescent mammary gland felt his frame He submerged his face, sucked and bit it Yet it was better than the torture I felt beneath My skin under wearing and tearing Warm liquid escaped. Voiceless wailing couldn't get into the hearing of any who would help, only to many other beasts who take turns. Different day, different beast, same mourn. My schoolmates who were prettier than I, have been bought off by suitors. Nigh and far, rich and poor, they came to buy. Those of us left, satisfy the beasts' appetite For hours I rumbled till he was done. Piehole already dumb, legs numb He left satisfied. Blood on the sheets My dream future on exile. Extinction no longer exist. To read the FANTASY SEVENTY SEVENS poetry collection. Goto https://www.wattpad.com/story/1600226-fantasy-seventy-sevens Cc Seun Lalasticlala Myndd44
