Relieved With Pains

RELIEVED WITH PAINS Fed with hunger Consoled with grief Pitied with wickedness They were relieved with pains Freed with slavery Pampered with child abuse Educated with ignorance They were relieved with pains Married without grooms Honoured with disgrace And praised with blames They were relieved with pains They were given hopes with hopelessness To live like ghosts To be happy in sadness They were relieved with pains Where is our freedom? Slavery isn't our home But we are here as captives Why this relief with pains? They were once happy like I Before sadness enveloped their eyes And back they are to be like I With pains like reliefs in the eyes Welcome, Chibock girls To our joyful bondage of evil angels Where parameters for paradise is kept in hell We are relieved here in Nigeria with pains I celebrate you girls #bringbackourgirls #welcomeourgirls #giveustheremaininggirls #giveusourfreedomall From all of us @ #poeticwednesday #LEARNERSPEN #poetrycsoup © LEARNERS 14th SHA'ABAN, 1438 (10/5/17)
