The Abducted Future

“Bring back our girls”: a silent whisper now the global anthem, Re-echoing the opposing bells to our corrupt system Is this the prospect sought-after by our patriotic gem? Nigeria! Listen to the loud tears of your future stem, Give joy to daughter-hood; salvage them. But wait! Bombing at first now abducting, And our tomorrow, they take liberty in destroying: Creeping into our streets with arsenals uninviting; Kai! Things are falling apart swiftly, as a mountain erupting. Oh! Once upon a time in Chibok Unraveling the serene puzzles gazing from our books; Reading and playing to pass examination’s hook Girls in tender uniforms with big dreams, Insuring their future on the seedbed of academic teams, Rain-date indeed! Absent from our schemes; Little wonder you were abducted; as in Nollywood films, Shai! Where is God in this scenario? It seems.
