Maiduguri, the treaded thorny path of pain
As faceless faces hardened by oasis fears;
Waiting to shed wells of endless tears
Soaked warm in a northern clime searching for
peace in vain;
What cause the hobby of hunger, and stain -
Not naked but defaced among peers,
Those scars it seem marked only your face it
appears
Arewa's troubled mirror the only tag you gain;
Hay, home of peace,a ruse, nay, pieces, this a
disgrace,
You walk in dreams with your manhood in scar,
Through clouds that shine and open out above;
And the flames of hoodlums threatening your
face,
And all the past lies and bombs not far
Especially from the eyes of terrorist-love.
