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
