Terrorism

You have tamed and forcefully dragged the horse 
Through the path to the stream
It drank from the stream of black-blood
Then, after, its like just seemed like a fly at its sight.

An engine room lethal the future
Indiscriminately uprooting the young ones
heartlessly cutting down the old trees
because of religion, politics, and resource control
all are of selfish motives

You recruit my youth
To commit suicidal act
You cajole and promise heaven
a subject of doom you are
You promote humanity against humanity 

You maim and cut lives short
You divide our earth
You create war and the
Child, father, mother, aunt, uncle; wary

You kill in hundreds
If not thousands
Oh! terrorism
You are a curse on our world.

note: dedicated to the #bringbackourgirls 200+ abducted girls in Borno, Chibuk, Nigeria
