Nigerian Teenage Poet Selling Poem To Donate To B.H. Victims by AnonymX: 1:37pm On Mar 24, 2015
I came across this online on the blog of Nigerian teenage poet, Timothy Nkenu today:

[b]Inspired by Project Borno started by Nigerian Singer, Morell, I decided to write the "SUDDENLY". Today, I decided to find a means of donating to the people, selling the poem!

Please be guaranteed that ALL revenue generated from this would go to the victims.


The Poem:

We were outside the compound
Smiling faces and merry hearts
Enjoying the evening breeze
Living the normal life of peasants

Brother’s wife was pregnant
Dad’s farm had bloomed
My grades had improved
Mum’s leg had healed

We had ourselves
We had family
We had love
We had, above all, peace

Suddenly! A sound came
Then another
And another
Suddenly!

A bullet came flying
Then another
And another
Suddenly!

Brother got hit
Then dad
Then mum
Suddenly

Our home was set ablaze
Then Musa’s
Then Danladi’s
Suddenly!

My town became alien to me
Then the next
And the next
Suddenly!

Peace flew away
Then stability disappeared
And progress vanished
Suddenly!

All I hear now are the bullets
All I smell now is blood
Drip, drop, the blood flows
Tick, tock, the time goes

Who would hear my voice?
Who would rescue me?
Who would speak for me?
For all I ever had has disappeared
Suddenly!
