Bitter

Bitter ...... for the chibok girls She's always loved the girl in the mirror She had the perfect kanuri tone Although she didn't have the impeccable looks of a damsel She was a girl She knew Alhaji Musa Mother said he would pay lots of gold for her ra'aki Although he wasn't her Prince charming But he was better than this filthy men She's always had a thing for school She loved the men in white coat Perhaps the wig would fit her too But all she can do is fantasize She's always made father smile And she had the key to mother's jaw People said she was sanguine But it's been long she talked to anyone She left home a girl But her breasts have fed two infants Now she's heavy again She just prays it's not a girl
