Tale of Sambisa Chibok

Once we were told with a lying mouth That our Chibok sisters are missing in The evil forest of Sambisa but, alas! They all lied through their smelling lips, They polluted our hearts and poisoned Our feet to protest against ourselves in The name of combing around to fish out The claimed lost young lasses but it was A political bomb to threaten the present Government. one year gone, no Chibok girls found and government's mouth shut Because the seat belongs to them now. Alas! We were fooled blindly by him, Through that change chains crossed our Restless feet and we roam no more. Does Chibok girls really exist or lost? Those women crying then, were they Paid to cry to be seen by all as mothers? Those women protesting on the street of Lagos, are they all dead after election? or are they silent because the president does not appoint them as ministers of this and that? Where are the Chibok girls promised to Be found for us when he assumes office? I dislike politics, I hate politicians! Politicians dominate each other to injury, The hairy future of the masses forgotten Because money seek is far better than the Assumed confused populace in the state. Does the Chibok lasses disappearance seems True in the testament of your bright eyes? We are fooled politically by the craving for Change that chain us here and there! Chibok girls are folktale of deception! A fiction of disney wonderland and CNA! (C) John Chizoba Vincent Voice Of Vincent 2016

It is a parable-tale that make us meditate on our condition, never mind where we leave on earth. We are responsible for ourselves as a family. But even reason may become a slave of interests, other than our survival. I liked your poem and I am sure many other will enjoy it because it deserves to.
