Girls of Chibok
Leaders of tomorrow
Voice of the nation
Mirroe reflecting the future
Endowed with wisdom by nature
To parents we show obedience
To teachers we express
appreciation
Our books we marry
Our future our priority
Our studies our legacy.
But here we are
Slaves to madmen
carted away like hen
from our treasure
our bright duture
to the world of agony
handled like rags
To satisfy their fanatic madness
Here we are
numbered two thirty four
or more
waiting to be raped
sold off or rescused.
