Chibok Girls : 100 Days Like 100 Years!

3 Min Read

1.If you think

The Chibok girls

Were kidnapped 100 days ago

You are wrong

 

 

2.The first day

That Boko Haram bombed Nigeria

Then the Chibok girls got kidnapped

Though they were with us

 

 

3.The very day

That students got slaughtered in their sleep

Then the Chibok girls got kidnapped

Though they were with us

 

 

4.The first day

That we began deceiving ourselves

Stabbing fellow Nigerians from behind

Then they got kidnapped

Though they were with us

 

 

5.A 100 days

We’ve seen the sun rise

We’ve seen the sun set

We’ve seen empty rooms

We’ve had visual hallucinations

We’ve heard voices

Of the long lost

The Chibok beauties

 

 

6.A 100 days

We’ve seen a nation cry

We’ve seen the world cry

Trying to imagine the horror

Asphyxiating the Niger area

We’ve seen sadness

We’ve tasted grief

We’ve asked questions

Still we are asking questions

 

 

7.Very long 100 days

Like a 100 years

Some parents of the girls

In grief have found death

Some others

In grief have found diseases

Hopeless they’ve become

Within their walls

Insanity

Gradually drowning their future

 

 

8.A 100 days

Of the sun standing still

A 100 days

Of a gruesome baptism of fire

We’ve pinched ourselves severally

To jerk ourselves out of this gory dream

But then this dream breathes

This dream is alive

This dream is causing us tears

This dream is killing us

This dream is no dream

 

 

9.To everyone

Who keeps fighting this course

Labouring day & night

To see the girls released

Thank you

To the world leaders

Who have stood by us despite all

Thank you

For the prayers from around the globe

Thank you

To our innocent soldiers

Who have been sent to confront terror

In the hardest of circumstances

Thank you

To the beautiful souls

Who keep gathering at Unity Fountain Abuja

Beneath the blazing sun

Daring chilling heavy rains

Nigeria says

Thank you

But then

We are yet to win

 

 

10.”Bring back our girls”

Still remains our chant

Bring back our freedom

Bring back our dignity

Bring back our beauty

Bring back our smiles

Bring back our dreams

To our president we say

Bring back our sanity

 

11.The girls

Are curled up somewhere

Waiting

Panting

Their hearts heavy with fear

Their limbs weakened by terror

Their souls drained of hope

Their voices gone

We remain their hope

We are their voices

We are their saviours

Reason why we have to keep demanding

Bring back our girls

Now and alive!
