BRING BACK OUR GIRLS

This poem is dedicated to students living in the northern parts of Nigeria,whom the constant attack by terrorists has left them in a dilemma. 


I'm going to be through with my assignment tomorrow,
A student once exclaimed,
Little did she know that her doom would come that night,  
Innocent souls,studying tediously for exams. 



The cry of a student in Borno state,
The cry of a student in Chibok town,
The cry of a student in Kaduna,
The cry of a student in Nigeria.



Such massacre and atrocities in the nation.
Fathers grumbling, mothers wailing,
Agony and tears in the land.
The cry of students from the world beyond I can feel.  



These insurgents! 
They make the students cry, killing continuously,  
Slaughtering, torturing, 



The cry of a student in Borno state,
The cry of a student in Chibok town,
The cry of a student in Kaduna,
The cry of a student in Nigeria.


The students are crying,
They need help, 
Who would stop the cry of the student?
