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!
