Thousands displaced
The Hausa Militias...

Of them our rulers 
To the pauperised people.
Of a kingdom surrounded 
By millions of the  “Almajeris” .

Including their kindergarten still urinating on nannies;
All the entries and exits within country’s Aso Rock

Of the age of one to thirteen
Young, untapped kids
Of the team of 53 beggars in "Kaduna"
Fresh, unripe fruits
Of multiple-colours of plates at hand

I do not know what I'll find
if I pull off your hijab
Perhaps a cobra lurks to bite
Whose venom will kill wit

I've bared my heart into sonnets
Sadly you will never read them- you aren't lettered
You're rather...
